The Lagos State Government has commenced the demolition of shanties and other structures built on the right of way of the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway.

Every item found along the way including automobile parts were cleared.

Cars and trucks carrying containers were also towed-off the right of way.

The demolition comes at the expiration of a two-week ultimatum given to residents and traders to vacate the areas.

Minister of Works and Housing Mr Babatunde Fashola had appealed to residents to vacate the area during a visit to the bridge in the aftermath of a tanker fire on January 7.
