The Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Mr Olukayode Popoola, on Monday dispelled rumours that the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos is shaking.
Popoola, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos, reassured the public that the bridge is structurally okay and safe for use.
He said a video circulating on social media is the same one being recycled every year for the past five years to cause fear, adding that, the portion in the video had long been fixed.
He urged Nigerians to disregard rumours that the bridge was shaking, as speculated on social media.
Popoola said: “I have gone on Third Mainland Bridge today and have gone round the bridge and there is nothing like that bad portion being circulated.

“I want to put the record straight, this is not the first time such rumours would be going round, it started about five years ago that somebody would just wake up and post this same video on social media and then people begin passing it and then cause panic to road users.
“I want to assure all residents of Lagos and road users that there is no problem with Third Mainland Bridge, it is safe and still comfortable,”
