It seems to be a season of fire incidents and trucks rolling over in collisions as yesterday 17th November at about 9:am, there was an accident involving two trucks along Owerri/Onitsha Expressway by Tarzan junction, Onitsha.

The accident was said to have occurred when a M.A.N tanker with Registration number XG 624 DKA conveying diesel lost control and fell on another articulated truck conveying goods heading towards the opposite direction thereby causing the diesel to spill on the road.

The police patrol teams, Anambra State Fire Service and other security agencies responded promptly and Scene was effectively condoned off the area from people, who may want to fetch spilled diesel, in order to avert any calamity.
This caused a traffic gridlock but and traffic was diverted to a safer direction, while the diesel was successfully trans-loaded by NUPENG officials without any casualty recorded, after which a tow truck was used to lift the fallen truck the right side up and the situation was brought under control and obstructions cleared to enable free vehicular movements in the Area.

Meanwhile,the Anambra State Commissioner of Police CP John B.Abang,fdc has ordered for a full scale investigation in order to ascertain circumstances surrounding the incident. No casualty was recorded.

Recall that recently, there was a fire incident not too far from the scene of this incident when a tanker spilled its contents and caused a fire at Ochanja/Menax markets.

Naijadriva can confirm that the Onitsha/Owerri Road(a Federal Road), Onitsha section, is in a deplorable state. From Tarzan junction to Awada Obosi is bad and causes to heavy traffic jam. Tricycle operators and vehicles alike drive one way, which compounds the problem.

Naijadriva advises motorists coming from Owerri/Ihiala/PH axis, to use the Obosi Bridge and pass through Obosi and negotiate through EzeIweika Road to avoid the Upper Iweka, Onitsha hold up.

This is terrible. There seem to be more trucks on Nigerian roads than there are cars and even human beings.

If the rail systems were functioning as they should be, such tragic events as this would've been prevented.

This Tarzan junction by Obodoukwu road is becoming something else. No week passes without a truck/tanker falling down there. This is as a result of the dilapidated portion of the road. FERMA should please do something urgently especially now that the festive period is approaching.

God should help us in this country where no measures are taken to cut shot of this menace.fire here fire there accident here n there still no caution taken

SouthEast is smaller than Niger state in land mass and almost equal with only Oyo state yet they pratically account for nearly half of all bad roads in Nigeria

State Governors from Southwest and SouthSouth are now seeking to repair Federal roads and get their money from FG or through toll gating, yet Non of SouthEast Kerosine sharing Governors have approached Fashola and FG for such concessioning

What shall he do exactly. Advise please.

That Onitsha-owerri is now hell on earth. I wonder what would have been the fate of the SESS by now if OBJ and Yar'adua hadn't dualized that road.

I suspect that Buhari would have ensured we eat concrete on that road.

And 90% of those bad roads in Southeast are federal roads. What does it tell other than long term marginalization?
