Lagos community where every street corner is a fuel depot

Gboyega Adepitan, 33, is an ardent lover of news. A young executive at a fast-rising advertising agency in Ikeja, Lagos, he keeps track of latest information both on his smartphone and laptop computer regularly. The nature of his job also means he has to monitor news bulletins on leading radio and television stations in the city to know how clients’ adverts are fairing. As a result, the 10:00pm news on Channels Television, a respected news platform, is a daily ritual for him.

But on Monday, April 20, 2015, Adepitan almost broke down in panic. After leaving his Ikeja office at 8:30pm, he had calculated that in less than 30 minutes he would have arrived his new two-bedroom apartment on Anibaba Street, Ketu, where he had recently moved to from Onipanu, a sprawling suburb in the metropolis.
