Tales of sorrow and agony have continued to trail Thursday’s tanker fire on the Otedola Bridge, Berger axis of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway which left scores dead and many vehicles burnt.
A 3-year-old boy, Eyitayo, has been declared missing after he was initially thought to have been rescued from the scene of the inferno.
According to information reaching The Herald, the boy and twin sister, Eyitoke, were with their mother and driver inside a vehicle few metres away from the tanker that caused the inferno.
After the tanker burst into flames, their mother was said to have carried Eyitoke while the driver identified as Mr Emmanuel carried Eyitayo.
Although all four were thought to have escaped from the scene, the whereabouts of the driver and Eyitayo remain a mystery.
The family are therefore calling on anyone with information about their whereabouts to call 08033148161 or report to the nearest police station.
