        The Acting Director Lagos Fire Service, Mr. Rasaki Musibau on Wednesday warned motorists to avoid abandoning their vehicles on roads, especially at night in order to avert accidents and loss of lives. He made this assertion during his visit to the site of multiple accidents which claimed two lives, left five people injured and involved five vehicles along Lagos Badagry Expressway opposite Ojo Military Cantonment  in Lagos. According to him, "it is disheartening to note that motorists are not cautious of the dangers inherent in abandoning their vehicles on the road overnight with excuses of malfunction or fault, saying that the accident was primarily caused by three vehicles which included one IVECO Tipper Truck loaded with sand, one Mack Trailer with Sumec and Elemax generating sets and one other unknown car which were stationed on the expressway overnight; the vehicles were rammed into unknowingly in the early hours of Wednesday by other oncoming vehicles". “
