Sources told our correspondent that the accident occurred when two commercial buses had a head-on collision and burst into flames.
The identities of the two vehicles involved in the accident could not be ascertained, just as the victims could not be recognised.
The FRSC State Sector Commander, Samuel Ibitoye, said preliminary investigation showed that one of the vehicles drove against traffic.
He assured that the FRSC will embark on a thorough investigation into the accident with a view to unravelling the detailed causes.
