A tanker, in the early hours of Thursday, exploded on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
This was disclosed via a statement issued on Thursday by the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Sector Commander in Ogun State, Ahmed Umar.
Umar, who noted that the tanker exploded at Araromi town before the Sagamu interchange, enjoined motorists to make use of other routes on the ever-busy expressway to avoid unnecessary delay.

“The rescue operation is still on and people involved are yet to be confirmed because a bus is also involved.
“The crash scene is cordoned to avoid a secondary crash as traffic has been diverted.
“Men of Fire Service have arrived at the scene and effort is being made to put out the fire. Traffic has been temporarily diverted at Lufuwape U-turn to ease the traffic situation,” he said.
The FRSC commander urged motorists to remain calm and cooperate with traffic managers controlling the situation.
