Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, has attributed yesterday’s gridlock on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway to an overturned fuel-laden tanker.
The Oyo State Sector Commander, Mrs Rosemary Alo, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, in Ibadan.
Alo said a certain quantity of the tanker’s content spilled on the road, causing a gridlock that left several commuters stranded for many hours.
She, however, urged drivers to exercise caution and follow guidelines from road safety officials and other security agents at the scene.
The road safety boss noted that adequate arrangements had been made to ease the gridlock and ensure the safety of lives and property.
She assured that FRSC would stay on standby until the affected tanker is decanted and removed from the expressway. (NAN)
