At least two cars were destroyed after a container fell on them around Tin Can Island port in Apapa, Lagos, on Saturday.
It’s not clear if there were casualties but the affected vehicles were badly damaged.
Heavy-duty vehicles are scattered across Apapa due to the location of different ports in the area. To reduce traffic congestion and possibly minimize accidents, the federal government recently set up a task force to restore sanity to the roads in the area.
Recalled that the Federal Government on Friday extended by two weeks, the time given to the Presidential Taskforce on the Apapa traffic gridlock to resolve the matter following a request for extension by members of the taskforce and other stakeholders.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, approved the extension at a meeting of the Presidential Taskforce with stakeholders at the Presidential Villa, earlier in the week.
The taskforce, according to a statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, commenced its assignment on May 24 and had up to June 7 to complete the assignment.
He said that the panel was expected to present a formal report at the end of its extended mandate on June 24.
Nollywood actress, Angela Okorie who is quite sad after a container fell on cars in Apapa area of Lagos, has called out the Nigerian government over the incident.
Angela Okorie who called out the Nigerian government over container which fell on cars, linked it all to bad government.
She further added that only a country that doesn’t value lives, will allow trucks to run on same lane.
She wrote on Instagram;
Oh God Only a country that doesn’t value lives
That will allow trucks to run on same lane
With normal cars
This is not fair
This is unacceptable
Who do we run to
When our leaders have failed us
Greedy politicians
They only care about them selves
RIP to those that lost their lives This is heart breaking
