😩😩Otedola bridge on fire again today by 2am… Last year around June/July this same bridge gutted out hundreds of lives. GOVT should just change the name of the bridge from Otedola bridge to Fire bridge.😔… #EndSARS #OtedolaBridge pic.twitter.com/pXxOZXiHhE

It should be recalled that there was an Otedola Bridge fire accident that occurred on the Otedola Bridge at the Lagos end of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway where a tanker lorry fully loaded with petroleum product fell, leaked and exploded on 27 June 2018.
The massive fire at the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway broke out after the explosion of petroleum filled tanker lorry leading to the transfer of flames to other vehicles approaching the lorry on the busy road.
