Palpable tension gripped motorists along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Tuesday evening following an explosion at the Otedola Bridge axis.
PUNCH Online gathered from multiple videos shared on X that the explosion occurred around 7 p.m., with thick flames seen billowing from the scene.
While the exact cause of the explosion remains unclear, some X users speculated that a petrol tanker was involved. One user, Tonye Oliver, described the incident as a “major disaster,” while another, Pamilerin Adegoke, urged commuters to avoid the area, warning of “heavy fire right now.”
