There was serious tension along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, on Wednesday, as a petrol tanker, laden with 33,000 liters of petroleum product, broke down at Pako Bus Stop, close to Casidy.
Motorists had to be diverted to alternative routes to avoid the logjam at the spot, while commercial vehicles took to one way, leading to serious traffic gridlock on the road.
