Lagos state has given potholes in new definition. Potholes are not only small opening carved out on its roads by rainfall and lack of drainages but these are death traps, that an unsuspecting motorist can pay dearly for.
These potholes mostly on federal roads have widened into craters and usually cause unnecessary traffic gridlocks or go-slow as the case may be. In some cases, car owners have to visit mechanics after a trip or two on these roads.
To explain the deadly nature of these potholes, P.M.NEWS Photo Editor, Idowu Ogunleye, went across some parts of Lagos to capture some of the worst potholes.
