LASEMA Responds to Tanker Fire Under Otedola Bridge
A tanker burst into flames under the Otedola Bridge along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Monday afternoon, causing significant concern. The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) confirmed the incident through spokesperson Olawale Afolabi, who reported that the agency received notification of the fire at about 4:24 pm.
In response, LASEMA's Tiger team was immediately dispatched to the scene to manage the situation. The Otedola Bridge area is known for being a hazardous location for tanker accidents, attributed to the narrow overpass and heavy fuel haulage traffic, which has led to numerous fire-related emergencies in the past.
At the time of the report, there were no details available regarding casualties, the contents of the tanker, or the cause of the fire.
