A Diesel tanker on Friday morning fell around BJ junction inward Civic Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos state.

Okay.ng understands that the tanker blocked the whole road causing a massive gridlock on that route.

According to the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) through its Twitter handle, “The trailer head has been moved off the road. The tanker body will be evacuated shortly. Traffic diversion still ongoing for now. Motorists should be patient”.
