EDITOR’S PICKS
This accident, which happened around 8pm, came after the Lagos State Government banned articulated truck drivers from using Dorman Long and Ojuelegba bridges early February.
The ban was a response to incessant container falls, including one that crushed nine people, including children, to death on Ojuelegba bridge in January.
