The tanker driver abandoned his truck and escaped.
The people protesting insisted they wouldn’t leave the area until Governor Fashola showed up. They are blaming the gruesome accident on the lack of a pedestrian bridge in the area. The two express lanes were blocked by the angry protesters which caused heavy traffic in the area. There’s heavy police presence in the area.
