Gas-Laden Truck Leaks On Transit On Lagos Road

Commuters and motorists in the Ojuelegba area of Lagos State on Saturday morning were stranded as a result of the leakage of gas from a truck.

The incident which happened around 9 a.m. between Stadium bus stop and the Barracks bus stop on Saturday morning left commuters with no alternative as traffic was being diverted to avert explosion.

According to reports, the Lagos State Fire Service was present and the road was cordoned off for the safety of the road users.
