At least 3 dead, tanker fell and went up in flames at Ojo Barracks (graphic photos)


At least 3 people have died and several cars were burnt after a tanker fell and exploded at Ojo Barracks, along the Lagos – Badagry express road.

According to reports, the accident happened in the wee hours of this morning, at about 3 am, and despite the heavy rain that fell, the tanker was still burning as at this morning
An eyewitness claims that more than 3 people died in the tanker explosion. A container carrying generators was also caught in the fire. Cars with businessmen’s goods were burnt together with the contents

The eyewitness said:



One of the containers near where the tanker fell was carrying generators and they caught fire.

A car carrying cartons of fish caught fire too.

Some people got down from their cars and tried to escape the fire but rain fell and flooded the road and the water on the road was already too hot. Some of them fell inside the water and died.



The source added:



I saw more than three bodies in the water. Some of them are inside the water so you can’t see them well until you go close.

The tanker is still on fire till now, accident that happened since 3 and it’s still burning.

Clarion call!!!

Any persons who is of voting age and also make use of lagos/Badagry expressway should as a matter of urgency, use his/her voting franchise to elect the next governor that has "capacity", "will" and a can-do spirit to effect a positive change in the coming dispensation

There's a say that " we cannot continue to do things in a particular way and expect different result " , but this people wants us to keep voting them even if Democratic dividend eludes the electorate. This should stop!

Just a rainfall today has created untold destruction, loss, hardship and avoidable death around ojo cantonment bus stop this morning due to poor road. All vehicle stuck in the traffic at barracks going towards volks bus stop may not leave the traffic if urgent work is not done thereby endangering the lives of those waiting by their asset to robbery attacks and vandalisms. Must we politicize every decision because it does not favor the party at hand?

Arise "O compatriot, Lagos call Obey!

Lagos is a cosmopolitan state hence the need to eradicate politicizing decisions that will foster development in the state.
