Sad news coming from the Sangotedo area of the Lekki-Epe Expressway Lagos this morning.

A tanker has exploded burning cars and people – it was reportedly conveying cylinders with chemicals. The fire service appears to have been prompt on the scene but there is no confirmation on casualties even though eye-witnesses confirm deaths.

Traffic is at a standstill.
