The Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service and State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) have prevented fuel scoopers from the danger of explosion following the fall of a fuel-laden tanker at Obadeyi bus stop near Meiran on Lagos-Abeokuta expressway, Lagos.

“After arriving at the scene, LASTMA personnel immediately called the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Services including Lasema Response Unit (LRU) and immediately secured the environment against area boys and other members of the public who had started scooping diesel with buckets/jerry cans,” he said.
