No fewer than thirteen people were feared dead on Sunday when a fuel tanker rammed into a commercial bus at Odo Oba in Ogbomoso, Oyo State. Although details of the
crash are still hazy, the tanker and bus reportedly
caught fire immediately. It was not clear where they
were heading to when the
crash occurred. The National Emergency
Management Agency
confirmed the crash, saying
three persons escaped. It did not, however, state
whether they were in the
tanker or the bus. Road accidents involving
tankers have become rampant
in recent months, raising
concern about the safety of
road users.
