Last week, the people living in Anthony part of Lagos, woke up to see a snow-like substance that took over the road. While some were saying that it was snow for sure, the Lagos State Government has come out to clarify what caused the substance found on the road.
Dr Olufemi Damilola Oke-Osanyintolu, the DG/CEO LASEMA released a statement to explain how it happened.

Here's what he said;
“Situation Report: Vehicular incident around Anthony Village, Lagos. 

“The attention of the agency has been drawn to videos circulating concerning some streets in Anthony Village. Earlier today, there was a vehicular incident involving a lone articulated truck with registration number AAA 235-XW conveying a loaded double 20ft container.

It appeared to have lost control while in motion resulting in the obstruction of vehicular movement on the main carriageway. Blanketing of the entire scene of the incident was carried out by the Lagos State Fire service as a result of the content leakage from the container (Black oil) to prevent any secondary incident. The reaction from this blanketing is what has led to the appearance of “snow/foam” in the aforementioned area. 

Full-scale operation comprising LASEPA, LASEMA, LASTMA, LAGOS FIRE SERVICE and NIGERIA POLICE have retrieved the container and cordoned it off the street. Further Investigation by LASEPA is ongoing to determine the nature of the chemical being transported in the container. Any additional corrective action required will then be carried out.
We regret the inconvenience caused by the operation and are working to prevent secondary damage and to mitigate any further environmental challenges caused by the initial spill and the cleanup operation. That being said, we can confirm that no residents are trapped in their homes and plead for all affected persons to exercise patience and due caution.”
