PHOTOS: Truck Driver Defies Lagos Govt Ban As Another Container Falls On Ojuelegba Bridge

  • In January 2023, a container-laden truck fell off the Ojuelegba bridge and crushed nine people to death.

  • The Lagos government responded in February by banning articulated truck drivers from plying the bridge.

  • However, another container fell off on the bridge on Friday night despite the ban.

Eko Hot Blog reports that a container has fallen on the Ojuelegba Bridge, Lagos State.

The container and the truck conveying it fell on Friday night affecting traffic flow in that area of Lagos.
