Two people have been killed in a fatal road accident at the Diamond Tank Junction on Creek Road, Apapa, Lagos, on Tuesday.
The crash occurred around 2:20 p.m. when a heavy-duty truck fully loaded with plywood lost control while attempting a U-turn near the MSC company premises.
According to an eyewitness, Joseph Agha, the truck had loaded at Second Gate and was heading to make the U-turn when officers allegedly from Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) security and the Port Police tried to flag it down.
“An NPA officer and police officers were trying to stop him. Normally, they still collect money from any truck passing that junction, depending on whether it’s a flatbed, empty container, or export,” Agha said.
