A fully-loaded petrol tanker exploded at about 3.00 AM Saturday morning on top of Ojuelegba Bridge in Surulere area of Lagos. Four buses parked under the bridge were completely burnt while some houses along the canal were substantially damaged by the ensuing inferno.
The explosion caused huge traffic jams along the Ojuelegba/ Western Avenue axis causing diversion of vehicles by the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) and men of the Nigeria police.
The fire has since been put out by men of the Fire Service and there were no casualties.
