InsideOjodu had earlier reported that vehicular queues have resurfaced in some filling stations in Ojodu LCDA area of Lagos State causing heavy traffic on major routes within the area.
A trip around Ojodu from Berger to Grammar school, Omole and down to Ogba, cars were spotted queuing by the roadside to gain access to the filling station as passengers were seen stranded at bus stops with fewer cars on the road.
Movement from Omole to Berger has been very slow due to several queues at the filling station.
