LAGOS: Tankers explode at Iganmu, Otedola bridges

TWO tankers yesterday exploded at the Lagos Quadrapont Bridge better known as Iganmu Bridge and Otedola Bridge.

“A tanker has gone up in flames just before Iganmu bridge from Sifax. LASTMA has already alerted the @LagosRescue. Our officers at the scene are doing their best to handle the situation,” the Lagos State Traffic Management Agency (LASTMA) tweeted late Thursday. 

Operatives of the agency, are, however, on the ground to combat the raging inferno.

The incident came hours after a fuel-laden tanker fell on the Otedola Bridge, Berger area of Lagos State. While no casualties were reported, residents were seen scooping the content not minding the risks associated.

But emergency workers were able to manage the situation.
