Truck drivers dare Navy, LASG: Lock down Oshodi/Apapa Expressway

IN an apparent defiance to the ultimatum given by the Nigerian Navy to truck drivers to vacate Lagos roads and bridges, following the perennial gridlock, particularly along the Apapa/Oshodi expressway, truck drivers locked down the ever-busy expressway throughout yesterday.

The traffic situation which worsened last week, has taken an alarming dimension since Monday, as truck drivers virtually took over both the major expressway and service lanes on both sides.

For the first time in a long while, motorists spent over 12 hours between Second Rainbow to Berger under Bridge, a situation that overwhelmed policemen and officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA.

The officials were sighted sweating profusely under the sun as they watched the helpless situation.
