A container has fallen off the bridge in the Ojuelegba area of Lagos state.
Recall that different containers have been involved in accidents on the bridge, the last being in April when at least seven vehicles were destroyed.
Chairman of Ojuelegba NNAMORAL zone, a unit of Road Transport Employment Association of Nigeria (RTEAN), Saheed Olatunji in a chat with The Cable said the incident has resulted into a gridlock.

“It happened around barracks, from where you will climb the Ojuelegba bridge. It is still there now causing traffic jam,” he said.
A police officer at the location noted that there was no casualty in the incident.
“There is no casualty, this is just a minor accident,” the security operative said.
Narrating how the sad incident occurred, the driver said : “As I was climbing the bridge, a bus overtook me and I had to stop. When I set out after the bus left, the gear dragged me back and the container turned and fell.
“It is not because of the break. There is no casualty. I was not the only one in the truck, we were three in number, but nothing happened to any of us.”
