Absurdity As Three Trailers Fall In Agege, Street Hoodlums Take Advantage Of The Situation
Three trucks fell into a huge crater on the ever busy Agege Motor Road yesterday and such was described as a nightmare.
Tragedy was averted when a trailer carrying a container first fell into a huge ditch just before Idi- Oro bus stop and landed on a tricycle , which was thankfully not carry any passengers .
Another trailer brought to offload contents of the previously fallen container also fell into the crater while a third trailer , which was brought to lift the other two off the road also fell at the same spot , bringing the number of fallen trailers at the bad spot to three.
This absurd situation brought the whole stretch of Agege motor road to a complete standstill with traffic stretching to all adjoining routes and spilling far beyond Ojuelegba .
The road, which was commissioned less than 10 years ago , has become an eyesore and completely deteriorated beyond belief.
The drainagers have clogged up, filling the road with wastewater and has become a heavy burden on commuters and motorists. From Idi- Oro down to Ojuwoye and beyond , the road is completely riddled with craters and deep holes that regularly swallow up cars daily .
Street urchins have taken advantage of the situation and for # 100 , will show motorists where to pass to prevent them falling into the many gutters and craters covered by stagnant floodwater .
The situation has also spiked up transport fares for the few commercial buses that still manage to ply the road .
