Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Mr. Abdulrahman Sadeeq, who
confirmed the incident, said four other persons were seriously injured in the
crash which occurred at about 7.30a.m.
Sadeeq told the News
Agency of Nigeria on phone that the victims were travelling in a white Mazda
bus marked Bayelsa XC 239 YEN from Kano to Lagos, when the bus skidded off its
lane and rammed into a ditch at the village.
While attributing the
crash to over-speeding and dangerous driving, Sadeeq said a 12-month-old baby
boy and three other male adults were injured.
The FRSC official said
the dead and injured were conveyed to Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching
Hospital in Sagamu. He also said the FRSC
would prevent a gridlock from forming on the highway as a result of the crash.
