The bodies of two people were discovered beneath an empty diesel truck at the Barracks Bus Stop on the Lagos–Badagry Expressway, according to information released by the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority on Saturday.
According to a statement made on Saturday by LASTMA’s Public Relations Officer, Adebayo Taofiq, the accident happened at the same spot where Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu had arrested a soldier for breaking traffic laws.
According to Taofiq, the two bodies that had been discovered belonged to motorbike riders who were going in a “one-way” direction.

He stated that the motorbike rider passed unexpectedly at a hospital near Satellite Town, while the other two passengers died at the site.
According to reports, a ruptured tire caused the truck driver to lose control of his vehicle, resulting in a collision with a motorcycle that was only going one way on the freeway.
The truck driver fled the scene of the crash, but officers from the Onireke police division recovered the two dead bodies.
On the other hand, Bakare Oki, the acting general manager of LASTMA, advised motorcycle riders not to ride in a single direction on all state-wide prohibited roads and advised truck drivers to desist from speeding.
