No fewer than 13 police recruits
were burnt to death while six others
were critically injured in an auto
accident on Sunday in Omu-Aran,
Kwara. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)
reports that the newly posted
recruits were said to be on their way
to Nassarawa State when the
accident occurred at about 10 a.m. The accident occurred on the Omu-
Aran-Ilofa road at the same spot
where a commercial motorcyclist
died in an auto accident in December
2012. NAN reports that an unspecified
number of women were among the
dead in the accident involving an 18-
seater bus and a Mercedes Benz 190
model. Most of the occupants of the bus,
which took off from Ilorin, were said
to be of Kwara origin and had just
finished their police training. NAN gathered that they were on an
exchange posting to Nassarawa
State. According to an eye witness, the
Mercedes Benz car marked AC 345 DKA
was heading toward Omu-Aran
before it had an head-on collision
with the bus close to the Federal
Government College. The number plate of the bus was
squeezed to pulp following the
impact of the accident making
identification impossible. Another eyewitness and auto
mechanic, Mr Adekunle Azeez, told NAN
that the driver of the car, who was
critically injured, had lost grip of the
steering wheel and rammed into the
bus. “The car was on top speed on its
way toward Omu-Aran and I think the
driver lost grip of the steering wheel
and swerved before ramming into
the bus “The bus immediately caught
fire,” he said. The 13 corpses, which were burnt
beyond recognition, had been
deposited at the morgue by officials
of the FRSC. Those who sustained injuries were
taken to the Omu-Aran General
Hospital for treatment. The Divisional Police Officer in Omu-
Aran, Mr Rasak Adebayo, confirmed
the incident and said his command
had started investigations. (NAN)

it is a true story because, am also an
eye withness.
It is a gory sight indeed, may God have
mercy on this country Nigeria.
May their humble soul rest in perfect
peace and may God give their family the fortitude to bear the loss.

Oh Lawd!!

R.I.P. to all those who lost their lives...


My condolence to the families of the deceased...!!!


May all of us who are alive strive to do what's right so that we'll be remembered for Good....

I wonder why we Nigerians(including
myself) are so docile like this. Guess its
just like Fela Anikulapo Kuti put it. That
we "fear too much" Anytime an incident
occurs that involves loss of lives due to
the recklessness and corruption of our leaders at all levels every body will be
saying "may their souls RIP". Nobody
gets angered by the gross neglect of
our roads,the gross neglects of our
emergency recovery agencies,the
neglect of our hospitals by our "selected" leaders which as make our
nation a vast killing field for both
young and old. Until these occurences
galvanise us as individuals to demand
performance from those who have
imposed themselves so long will these unfortunate incidence occur. Then a
million RIPs wishes will not mean a s***

Reckless driving/over speeding! I hope there were beds in the hospital to admit and treat the critically injured.

RIP!

Reckless driving/over speeding! I hope there were beds in the hospital to admit and treat the critically injured.

May the souls of the departed rest in peace!
