This isn't a case of traffic rule or regulations. That bad portion of the road has been causing accidents ever since and nothing has been done to fix it. A minimum of 2 accidents occur there every week. Trailers have been colliding with each other there. In fact the smell from bags of fish feed of the last one hasn't finish oozing before this happened. Toh bad this one just had the most casualties. We have never been proactive in this country. Gitto construction company should be called back to come and finish the death trap they call a Federal road.

l partly disagree with you sir. agreed the part of the road is bad, but it is still motorable at a slow speed, the road is clearly demarcated so why would one of the driver drive against traffic thereby causing head on collision? Is it not better to arrive late, than to be the late?

FG should fast develop alternative means of transportation, especially for petroleum product, the pressure on the road is increasing fast, in other countries, petroleum cargo are moved via rail, pipelines, and seaports.

Stop your misinformation there.

Trucks move petrol and other combustible and dangerous goods on the roads in the US and other places.

If you want to stop this nonsense then you need to start with driver education.

Driving petrol tankers requires a higher level of training and license.

Your monkeys driving those death trap buses also needs special training with severe penalties for infractions.

It's saddening to continue to see this mayhem repeats itself on our roads.

Very unfortunate.

Some of these accidents are avoidable, compliance with simple traffic rules saves lives, the more reason we need to respect instructions from traffic regulation agencies like FRSC.

Relevant authorities also need to expedite actions on any ongoing road project especially on the busy roads.

Having said that, may the souls of the departed rest in peace.

so you think a bus filled with people with overspending in that narrow path and inevitably ran into the tanker or vice versa? have respect for the dead! you can't be too careful

Ogbeni, which respect do you want me to show other than wishing their souls peaceful rest or you just feel like throwing junks into my mention?

Or because death has occurred, we shouldn't talk about situation of the roads or suspected causes of the accident? Btw, were you there to have known how it occurred?

Pls if you have nothing reasonable to say, don't quote me again.

Only a baby survived in the 18 seater bus because the mother threw him out of the window though he has a broken leg which can be fixed. The sight was gory. The commercial bus just left an eatery close by for just 30 seconds

RIP to the dead

May we not enter the road on the day the road is hungry.
stop this kind of prayer, This kind of accident can be avoided but all we can do is to make some kind of weird prayer at the wrong time especially :/

This is simply how people incure wrath upon themselves, don't allow something you don't know or can't explain happen to you only because you want to mention Benin.

I know that sport very well in Felele, Lokoja. You can't drive against traffic there.

I forgot to clarify that it was not a head on collision. I wonder where those guys got their information from. The vehicles ( a petrol tanker, a kerosene tanker, an 18 seater bus and the keke Napep) involved were on the same side of the road and moving towards the same direction.
