More than 60 National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) corps members narrowly escaped death yesterday, April 28, in Warri, Delta State as the coaster bus they boarded to Asaba for the passing out parade (POP) ceremony bursted into flames while the bus was being refueled at a filling station close to the Nigerian Navy Headquarters in Warri.

GRASSROOT REPORTERS gathered that the bus, belonging to College of Education, Warri, was hired by the corps members to convey them to Asaba for their final POP after the completion of their service year,

The bus was said to have ran out of fuel shortly after the journey began.

Daniel, one of the affected corps members who spoke with GRASSROOT REPORTERS said:

"The driver stopped at a filling station close to Nigeria Navy Barracks in Warri to refuel the bus. While we were inside, and the filling station attendant was dispensing fuel into the bus, we heard a deafening sound, and everywhere was covered with smoke."

GRASSROOT REPORTERS gathered that many of the corpers sustained serious injuries, while a female corp member had a serious dislocation and was rushed to an undisclosed hospital.

It was gathered that the corps members lost their phones, bags and other personal effects.

The cause of the fire is unknown but a source said the driver of the bus allegedly failed to switch off the bus while it was being refueled.

Thank God for their lives. If we are to be factual, this country is not worth serving right now with all the barbaric events happening around the country... To top it up, the porous security is the major reason for all these problems.. Only God knows the numbers of corps members that have lost their lives during this administration.

Thank God for their lives.
All these senseless drivers with their stubborn coconut head.

It could have been worse but mercy prevailed. I'm tired of hearing stories of demise of our corp members.

May Gods name be praised.

Driver might have left the engine on.

See as dem get luck!!!
Our everyday prayers na "God, make we no enter the same place with person/people wey dem don already mark for death". Once again, we thank God for their lives. Na for here na some of the female corp members go know say that male corp member wey dey tell dem say "I so love you, I can die for you" na just bobo gist .

I don talk am before and I go talk am again, "everyday wey you go out and come in successfully, thank God ooooo"

Stupid country always risking lifes of innocent poor masses while their own children are cruising in a foreign country. Die for Nigeria at your own peril.

wow

Cheating the grim reaper ain’t no mean feat.

May Dealth or Accident never approach our doorstep at the verge of our success in life. I.J.N

Cheating is sin o

These old dilapidated buses can be very risky for long journies!

Lost their phones and valuables, what's fvvckin wrong with some Nigerians??, people are trying to save their lives and the some of them are looking out to steal from each other at any opportunity


By the way, what's with all these warning not to post ads when I want to comment, yet the front pages lately is just filled with annoying spams from fake betting groups to fake YouTube links,fake IT jobs ad.... they're ad section and very affordable!,it's becoming very irritating.Mods a run for your money,do your jobs

Huh?
I don't anyone can cheat death sha
It's not just their time.

Na wah o

Some buses can't switch off ignition, it would need to be jumpstarted before it can move again.

But the attendant should have insisted that the driver turns off the engine before fuelling

Can this shitty NYSC be scrapped already. It has outlived its usefulness.

We thank God they are all safe...
