BEVERLY HILLS, December 02, (THEWILL) – A fuel tanker on Wednesday morning caught fire on the busy Magboro section of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
THEWILL gathered that the incident happened around 06 am. The fuel being conveyed by the tanker had spilled to the other side of the expressway – leading inward to Lagos.
The incident has now caused gridlock at Magboro, outward Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
However, firefighters have arrived at the scene of the fire outbreak.
