Traffic Congestion as Diesel-Laden Tanker falls in Lagos

For Lagosians, today, Friday is one of those days the traffic congestion is expected to be more than usual.

There’s The Experience concert, RCCG is having their Holy Ghost Service program, there’s also Shiloh 2018 hosted by Winners’ Chapel.

Compounding the issue was a diesel-laden truck which fell on enroute Lagos-Ibadan expressway, causing congestion.
