A petrol-laden tanker fell in the wee hours of Friday around Toll gate, Ota axis of Lagos-Abeokuta highway, while approaching Shoprite Store, killing yet to be identified number of people.

The tanker went up in flames immediately, destroying lives, vehicles, and properties.

Confirming the incident, the Ogun State Traffic Compliance (TRACE) Corps Spokesperson, Babatunde Akinbiyi released a video of the inferno.

According to reports, there is no accurate number of casualties yet. Akinbiyi also advised motorists to avoid Toll Gate Area for now.

According to Akinbiyi, the TRACE Corps, Fire Service agents, Federal Road Safety Corps, the police, the NSCDC, Naval officers and the Army were all on ground for rescue operations.

While sympathising with those affected by the ugly incident, Akinbiyi advised motorists to avoid Toll Gate Area for now.

“Nevertheless, they can go through the Old Ota Road to link Awolowo Road down to Sango under bridge to link Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway,” he said.

There should be a permanent ban on tankers during day time. Tankers should only move at night. State governors should enact a law banning the movement of fully loaded tanker between 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM. If they could successfully ban motorcycle then they can.

Some people are now using petrol tankers as weapons of terror against their perceived southern enemies.

If these "petrol tankers explosion had been happening in Katsina, Kano or Kaduna, you will see the Federal Government quickly come out with measures to mitigate it. But, since they know those responsible for using this weapon, they are gravely silent about it.

Well, RIP to the dead southerners in the kwantri called Nigeria
