Ten people died in a horrific crash that occurred on Monday, 21 July, on Governors’ Road along LASU-Iba expressway, Lagos.

A truck transporting canisters of pure water has crashed into stalls at the meat market Odo-Eran, claiming lives of at least ten people who died on the spot. As the actual reason of the accident is yet to be established, the eyewitnesses assume that the driver just lost control of the vehicle as he neared the market.

One of the tricycle riders lamented: “We have some friends in this silly accident. I have been plying this road for years and have never seen something this gory. This is a big tragedy for everyone at the market and for Keke riders too.”

The accident caused traffic jam particularly for tricycle (Keke Marwa) riders who operate commercially from Ikotun to Governors Road. A Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) officer confirmed the accident, although neither the culprit nor the reason of the accident were named.
