FOURTEEN persons including four
members of the National Youth Service
Corps (NYSC), lost their lives late Friday
night on the Okene-Benin- Lagos road in
a fatal accident involving an 18-seater
commercial Hiace Bus and a tanker.

It was learnt that the dead corps
members were on their way to the
South- East from Abuja and were
supposed to be involved in the botched
National Assembly elections in their
assigned states.

An eye-witness account said the
accident occurred when the tanker
failed break and crashed into the on-
coming East-bound bus. While all the 14
occupants of the bus with number-plate
XV 718 ABC lost their lives, the driver of
the tanker could not be found while the
motor-boy sustained injuries.

It was learnt that it was a gory sight as
bodies of some of the victims were
badly mutilated. The Federal Road Safety
Commission (FRSC), Iruekpen Unit said
the driver of the tanker must have been
over-speeding when his break failed.

The unit’s head of operation, Mr. Eko Otu
Eko, believed that both vehicles must
have been on high speed when the
incident occurred. “The impact was so
serious that you see human bodies
divided into two, with other badly
mutilated beyond recognition.

“We met the police here, I cannot really
tell how this all happened, but over-
speeding cannot be ruled out, ” he
stated.

I drove past the accident scene at Ewu hill,close to the monastery,on my way to Benin on friday evening at about 4.45pm and was a very gory sight as the accident was very fresh and rain was drizzling on the bodies lying dead on the road.
I counted about 3 male bodies very close to the road with various degrees of mutilations. One was without two legs from the thigh,one was complete n fully dressed and the one very close to the severely smashed bus was in two parts with legs n hands in detached position. The tanker certainly failed brake,left its lane and smashed the bus against a Hill and grounded through the bus to the last seat. The head of the tanker smashed too n wedged into the squeezed bus. I knew right there it would take a miracle for there to be survivors. The area where this accident happened is well tarred,wide and paved. No potholes or what so ever just that is a hill and the tanker was descending.

from this eye withness, its obvious it not the fault of the government. However, may their soul rest in perfect peace.
