 At the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, LaSemma has given a seven-day ultimatum for the removal of containers under Aboboam Bridge and within the environs. In a post-disaster assessment, the Permanent Secretary of LaSemma, Femi Osointolou, disclosed that the fire outbreak spread fast due to a variety of improperly stored flammable items in containers under the bridge and within. This wakes up to this disaster. Traders at the popular Akongba scramble to savage what they can. The fire opens up a portion of the bridge, signaling danger as firemen from the state and other officials try to extinguish the flame. Traffic is rerouted from here to other roads. The result is this horrific gridlock. Akongba Bridge is cut off as the state emergency agency led by the Permanent Secretary, Femi Osointolou talks off for the evacuation of containers under this bridge. We are removing the containers. We are moving in to the source of the inferno. And with that, there is no casualty, there is no mortality, and we are on top of the challenges. However, we have a stakeholder's meeting with all the people that were involved. Federal Ministry, Lagos State Ministry of Works, Lagos State Environment, and we have decided that we've given them seven days' ultimatum. After these seven days' ultimatum, anyone, anyone, any container that is found wanting will be removed. The representative of the Ministry of Works and Alton arrives in company of other officials disappointed at the damage. Let me repeat myself and make it clear, lucidly clear. From today, the 30th of March, every occupant under our bridges, all our bridges, we have over 20 bridges in Lagos alone, to move. They have been giving seven day ultimatum to move away. After the seventh day, the task force will hand on any recastrant element we find under the bridge. So we are working with the Ministry of Environment that will be responsible for ensuring that the market people that need to be evacuated will be evacuated. Those that don't need to be around will be moved and I'm sure they will find a location for them. But from a transport point of view, it's very important that we evacuate this place. Safety is paramount. We need to think of the safety of our people first, and then we can then look at other things later. It is not clear what caused the fire, but officials have advised motorists to use alternative routes as ACMO One Bridge would have to be shut. Integrity tests carried out before repair works can begin.
