A massive fire engulfed Otedola Bridge on Tuesday following a petrol tanker explosion, causing widespread panic among motorists and commuters in the area.
Eyewitnesses reported that the explosion occurred around 8 p.m. following a tanker accident, which ignited a fire that spread rapidly.
This yet another tragic and avoidable disaster. Otedola Bridge has become synonymous with tanker explosions, yet nothing ever seems to change. How many more lives must be lost before real action is taken?
The authorities talk about regulations, but enforcement is almost nonexistent. Tankers in terrible conditions are still allowed on the roads, drivers with little or no training are still behind the wheel, and basic safety measures are ignored. Meanwhile, innocent people bear the brunt of the negligence.
