Anxiety looms as tanker explodes on Lagos Ibadan expressway

A petrol tanker has exploded in the early hours of today causing heavy traffic on the Magboro bridge, along Lagos-Ibadan expressway

The tanker was said to have gone up in flames around 4:15am.

Number of casualties is yet unknown as officials of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), police and firefighters have been battling to contain the inferno.

The FRSC have therefore advised motorists especially those using the Lagos-Ibadan-Egbeda corridor to re-plan their trips or brace up for delays as the continuous burning meant a total standstill situation of vehicular movement along the expressway.
