VIDEO: “Up To 100 People Died!” – Angry Sympathizers Dispute Casualty Figures In Otedola Bridge Fire

Angry sympathisers have disputed the casualty figures in the tanker explosion incident on Otedola Bridge given by emergency operatives on Thursday.

LASEMA had said 54 vehicles were completely burnt and only nine lives were lost.

Sympathisers, however, told Newsroom that the casualty figure given by emergency operatives was false. Many of them also lamented that the government was not concerned about citizens’ lives by not putting strict measures in place to checkmate operations of tankers and trucks on major roads.

Emergency operatives declined to comment on the allegation to our correspondent.

Evacuation continues on the bridge, leading to heavy traffic on the bridge as at Friday noon.

department of transportation, what is your work, road safety what have you done, what about hydrant water system, they did not design safety measures into consideration, they just built, new roads and well, safety is left to prayers, there was no footpath for the victims to run to, some bodies were seen in the gutter.

Are we building beautiful places, beautiful cities without safety in mind, that reminds me, we build houses and cement the floors, no plants grow around our artificial houses, why are we so self-destructive.
