• As Articulated Vehicles Return On Apapa/Oshodi RoadAs articulated vehicles return on Apapa/Oshodi expressway in Lagos State, compounding the agony of commuters, a tanker accident has killed a female at Mile 2, near Nigerian Army Signal Barracks. Prompt response of the Lagos State Management Agency (LASEMA) Response Team could not save the woman trapped in the fallen tanker laden with 55,000 litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS). Some commuters lamented that months after articulated vehicles were ejected from the road, they were back, forcing some commercial buses to drive against traffic. The fallen truck spilled its contents on the road as LASEMA deployed its equipment, including cranes, to save the situation. The Guardian gathered that LASEMA Response Team, LASEMA Response Unit, Lagos State Fire Services and Officers of the Nigerian Army were on hand to rescue the situation.
