Phase One:
– Motorists to Ojota from Maryland/Yaba will use a counter flow lane inbound Maryland.
– Alternative routes include Alapere/Ogudu axis to Gbagada/Anthony Oke Bridge for those from Berger, Magodo, and Tollgate.

– Motorists to Maryland/Yaba from Ojota will use a counter flow lane inbound Ojota.
– Similar alternative routes will apply as in Phase One.
Additional alternative routes from Ikeja, Oregun, Kudirat Abiola Way, and Jibowu are provided to ease traffic during the diversion. Traffic management personnel will ensure smooth flow during the repairs.

It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
