There was chaotic traffic congestion yesterday on the ever busy Oshodi-Apapa Expressway when a part of the pedestrian bridge at Alaba Bus stop was pulled down by a passing tipper lorry.
Motorists groaned for several hours in the chaotic traffic situation on the road caused by collapsed portions of the expressway, with the rubble of the collapsed bridge obstructing movement
Amid the heavy downpour and heavy traffic, many of the commuters had no option than to resort to walking long distances to reach their destinations.
It was gathered that the traffic snarl occurred when a tipper hit the flyover bridge and the situation was compounded when a trailer with number plate XC 358 SKK loaded with goats rammed into the rubble from the collapsed bridge thereby bringing movement to a standstill.
A meeting between the seven governors of the new Peoples Democratic Party faction, and members of the House of Representatives has ended after fighting broke out.
The governors, alongside the chairman of the faction, Abubakar Baraje, met first with senate president, David Mark.
A follow up meeting at the House of Representatives with Speaker Aminu Tambuwal, and members of the House, degenerated into chaos with supporters of the Bamanga Tukur-led PDP jeering at remarks made by Mr Baraje.
