Faulty truck triggers massive gridlock on Lagos Ago road

Commuters and motorists faced hours of disruption on Sunday due to a severe traffic gridlock on Lagos Ago Road. A broken-down truck at the SIFAX Terminal Bus Stop brought traffic to a standstill, trapping hundreds of vehicles.

The truck reportedly developed a fault after hitting deep potholes, exacerbating the already poor road conditions. As of Sunday afternoon, the congestion showed no signs of easing, leading to widespread frustration. Many passengers abandoned their vehicles to continue on foot, while others remained stuck.

This incident has renewed calls for urgent road rehabilitation and improved traffic management. Residents and commuters have repeatedly complained about the deteriorating infrastructure around the SIFAX Terminal Bus Stop and its impact on daily commutes.
