My people, e no go belleful as police and fire service don jam wahala for Apapa again. Early morning for Liverpool Bridge, a heavy-duty diesel-laden tanker just turned upside down, and before we sabi wetin dey happen, na so everywhere don scatter with diesel spill!
According to gist wey reach our ear, di tanker wey get registration number RBC 98 XX, just kuku lose control and fall. This one no be small play, as people come rush come gather, dey use basin and jerrycan dey scoop diesel like say dem dey harvest palm oil. Many of dem nor even fear the wahala wey fit happen if fire start — sabi say fuel no dey play!
As di tanker fall, di driver gatz carry first aid and dey rush go hospital because him sustain serious injuries. LASTMA (Lagos State Traffic Management Authority) talk say dem don mobilize to ensure di area dey safe and no second incident go happen. The spokesperson, Adebayo Taofiq, talk say this kind gathering fit even lead to massive explosion.
Di governor sef, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, no take am light; e don dey yarn say di people wey dey scoop fuel dey put their life for danger and if fire catch, e fit turn to serious disaster. E carry whole mouth sey if dem see spark, everybody go run scatter! Na wetin we dey talk since — no be say we dey go around for streets dey do this kind things!
Meanwhile, emergency responders dey everywhere like bees. Fire and Rescue service don already dey salvage di situation, keeping di remaining diesel intact. Margaret Adeseye, di Controller-General, don confirm say dem don transload di remaining diesel and di road don reopen for motor traffic.
This situation don make dem dey wahala for Lagos State, as dem dey always remind people say no come dey scoop from fallen tankers. Na wetin cause many past tragedies! We get cases wey hunger dey cause people to do desperate things, abi na dem dey mind dem own safety? This matter don dey tired many wey go remember di last incident when plenty people waka enter under one truck wey don spill fuel for Kano way dem no fit survive!
