The confirmation is contained in a statement signed by the Public Education Officer, Mrs Florence Okpe, yesterday, in Ota. She said that the accident, which occurred at about 2.25pm on Sunday, involved a vehicle and a motorcycle.
”The unfortunate accident involved a Lexus RX350 marked APP 541 GY and a Bajaj motorcycle with registration number, TTD 017 QR,” he said.
Okpe, who blamed the accident on route violation, said that two people came out unhurt.
The spokesperson said that the remains of the victims had been deposited in a morgue. She advised motorists to obey traffic rules in the interest of their lives and those of others.
“We sympathise with the families of the victims and urge them to contact the FRSC for more information about the incident,” Okpe said.
Also, the FRSC in Ogun has confirmed the death of one person in an accident which occurred early yesterday morning, involving a luxury bus and a truck at the Nipco filling station, Mowe, on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
The Sector Commander, FRSC in Ogun, Mr Ahmed Umar, told newsmen in Abeokuta that 21 others sustained injuries. He explained that the accident occurred at about 5.35am.
The sector commander stated that the accident was caused by speed on the part of the truck driver who lost control and rammed into the stationary bus. He noted that the two vehicles had no registration number.
“The truck driver rammed into the stationary bus and killed the driver of the bus who was under the bus trying to rectify some faults discovered from the vehicle.

The FRSC boss stated that the injured victims were taken to Famobis Hospital, Mowe, and the deceased deposited at the same hospital morgue.
