The accident occurred this afternoon at Igbogui village in Benin and involved three heavy duty vehicles; a Young Shall Grow Motors luxury bus, a fuel tanker with registration number GA 71 XA, and a Dangote truck carrying cement.

Over 100 people were burnt to death when the fuel tanker exploded following the accident. The fire spread to surrounding shops and burnt several cars packed nearby. Survivors have been rushed to the hospital while rescue efforts by the Federal Road Safety Corps & Civil Defence Corps continues.

Some years back a man was alleged to have mismanaged over 300 billion meant to fix Benin Ore express road when he was Minister for Works, Today we mourn people that perished on that said road, also today the ex minister is the Chairman PDP board of trustees. Nigeria

Nigeria is the worst country in world,we have seen many incident like this but no safety major to prevent another accident like this,it's very sad.

Please shut up and lets's hear something biko. What "safety major" do you want govt to employ to prevent motor accidents? You think govt is God? Instead of you to blame the reckless fools in charge of the affected vehicles, it is "Nigeria" you will see to blame. Rubbish.
