Yesterday was the third to have happen on that same spot and each time these tankers fall, they spill their contents on the road and into gutters, risking an explosion. A day before the tragic Otedola bridge tanker explosion occurred, a tanker loaded with petrol fell at the same spot Berger bus stop in Olodi Apapa and two days later another with diesel fell, a resident report.
Resident who are so much concerned came out to raise alarm about the warning signs the government has turned a bling eye to. They fear lives and properties could lost if action is not taken soon.
One resident, Roland Nduka, who reached out to us said:
Tanker loaded with petroleum product fell at Berger suya bus top olodi apapa Lagos today 18/07/2018. This is the third tanker that has dropped at this particular spot and the government is doing nothing about it because the police are there collecting bribe from them.
Right now the petrols from the tanker have all poured into the gutters and the only saving grace is the weather. Even the road is not accessible to fire tankers to come rescue because the trailers with containers have blocked everywhere.
A day before the otedola tanker explosion, one loaded with petrol dropped at the same spot and two days later another with diesel. This spot has aboki that does suya, and also a lot of business investment waiting to go up in flames because of the amount of danger this possesses for them to keep turning at this spot.
The business owners are complaining but nothing is being done. As we know Nigeria, they will wait for lives and properties to be burnt before proper action is been taken.
