This was confirmed by the Director-General of Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu.
He explained that crash led to a temporary blockage of vehicular movement in the area before a heavy-duty equipment was used to recover the fallen tanker.
“Distress calls were received concerning the incident and upon arrival, it was confirmed that a truck loaded with AGO had fallen due to suspected brake failure.
“This resulted in the obstruction of free vehicular activities along the corridor. A multi-stakeholder team comprising the agency’s responders, LRU firefighters, Lagos State Fire Service, LASTMA, LSNC and the Nigerian Police worked together to evacuate the impediment off the road.
“The agency’s heavy-duty equipment was used for recovery, while the area has been blanketed to prevent any secondary incident. Operation concluded with no loss of life or injury,” he said.
