In a related incident, a significant fire erupted early Wednesday along the Ibafo axis of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, destroying vehicles and damaging properties. The blaze was caused by an overturned petrol tanker in front of a commercial bank, reportedly after the driver fell asleep at the wheel.

Witnesses reported that the resulting explosion led to extensive damage, with petrol spilling through drainage systems and reaching a nearby community. The fire shattered windows, damaged roofs, and cracked walls of surrounding buildings. Several individuals sustained injuries, prompting emergency services to respond swiftly to the scene. An eyewitness, Wasiu, attributed the incident to the driver’s reckless behavior.
