Truck and tanker drivers, yesterday, stormed the Oshodi-Apapa and Ijora-Apapa expressways, following unconfirmed reports of collapse of the electronic Call-up system machine, resulting in total gridlock, as residents and motorists got stranded for several hours.
The situation was worsened as traffic law enforcement agents abandoned control to miscreants and officials of port unions.
No official of the newly created Lagos State Special Traffic Management Enforcement Team could be seen at the gridlock points.
