Motorists plying the Lagos-Ibadan
Expressway were stuck in a traffic jam that lasted for more than eight hours on Thursday after two tankers conveying petrol and black oil had a collision at the Asese end of the expressway.
Both tankers spilled their contents on the road, which resulted in a gridlock after security agencies cordoned off the expressway.
The traffic, which started around 6am,initially impeded vehicular movement inward Ibadan. It, however, spilled to the other side of the road after impatient motorists began to drive against the traffic.
Many commuters, who could no longer bear the gridlock, started to trek. Local residents who were elated to see "scarce" fuel littered on the road, trooped out with their 30-litre jerrycans and started scooping
fuel from the fallen tankers.
