The two sections of the
Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Ogun State, are presently blocked, particularly around
the Magboro area as a result of a gas pipeline explosion by the Punch newspaper
office.
The Federal Road
Safety Corps, in an advisory obtained by SaharaReporters, stated that due to
the "standstill traffic situation on both sections of the expressway,
motorists could take an alternative route."
The corps advised that
people who do not have time-bound activities may explore alternative routes and
postpone their trips.
The FRSC Corridor
Commander, Kehinde Hamzat, said, "We have a case of a gas pipeline
explosion around Punch Newspaper, Magboro. The pipeline burst while men of
Julius Berger, the construction company working on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway,
were excavating a surface for the worksite.
"This has led to
a standstill traffic situation on both sections of the expressway. Motorists
are advised not to panic as professionals are being contacted to take care of
the situation. For people who have a time-bound activity may explore
alternative routes and for those who can postpone their trips; let us endeavour
to do so while the situation gets controlled."
