Lagosians Resort To Trekking As Massive Gridlock Hit Ajah Over Petrol Price

Some lagosians have been left with no choice than to begin to trek after gridlock in Ajah area of the state got lots of people stuck.

This according to information available to us is not unconnected to the rumoured hike in petrol price. Many motorist immediately stormed filling stations to buy fuel, hence, making it very difficult for smooth flow of traffic.

Some lagosians on that route complained that they were stuck in traffic for about 4 hours, and those who were not in private cars had to start trekking since that was the only available option.

I boarded a bus to ikate 4rm Ajah, after 30 mins of not moving past 200mtrs, i complained. Then a woman said, "i sidon inside here since after 9, From LBS". this was at around 12:25.
Then I knew trekking was the way. But worse is, I no see chill water buy. Them say light no dey. pic.twitter.com/idaqxMcZIp
