According to the government, the coordinated emergency response ensured the safety of residents and the quick restoration of traffic across the affected routes.
The first incident occurred at about 12:07 a.m. at Olupese Bus Stop inward Oshodi, where a truck conveying granite developed a problem after its rear tyre became trapped in a pothole, causing an obstruction on the road.
