The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has issued a traffic advisory for travellers using the Lagos-Ibadan expressway to explore alternative ways due to a crash along the route.
The Corps Public Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem, made this known via a statement issued on Sunday, May 7.
Kazeem stated that the crash involving a tanker occurred in the early hours of Sunday under the Ibafo pedestrian bridge on the outward Lagos section of the expressway.
He said FRSC officers and some security agencies had been on top of the situation since the occurrence of the crash.
He added that the contents of the fallen tanker had been successfully trans-loaded into another one while officers of the Ogun State Fire Service had proceeded to refill their water tank.

“Unfortunately, some inpatient drivers who choose to drive against the flow of traffic from all available exit points have done so, thereby causing traffic jams.
“This is however, not only for the outward Lagos section where the RTC occurred alone but also, the inward Lagos section as well.
“All road users going into and out of Lagos are therefore advised to explore alternative routes.
“Such routes include Ikorodu through Sagamu and Ijebu-Ode, and Epe for Lagos-bound vehicles,” the FRSC official noted.
Kazeem advised some motorists to also ply Abeokuta through Sagamu Interchange for their own good.
