Commercial Bus Plunges Into Ogun River, 10 People feared Dead by Gistformant: 8:14am On Oct 03, 2019
At least 10 persons are feared dead after a commercial Sienna vehicle plunged into Ososa River on the Sagamu-Ijebu-Ode-Benin Expressway in the Odogbolu Local Government Area of Ogun State yesterday Wednesday October 2nd.

According to reports, the bus loaded its passengers from Sagamu and was heading to Ijebu Ode when the tragic incident occurred. The tyre of the vehicle bursted while the driver was on top speed. He lost control and sadly, veered into the river.

Confirming the incident, the Public Education Officer, Federal Road Safety Corps, Ogun State Command, Florence Okpe, said the unfortunate incident occured when the driver tried overtaking another road user.

“The crash occurred when the driver of the bus attempted to overtake another vehicle on the bridge and unfortunately lost control suspected to have been caused by tyre burst and the bus thereafter flipped into River Ososa.” Okpe said

This incident comes few days after a staff of Tai Solarin College of Education, Omu Ijebu died when his vehicle plunged into the same river.

Just imagine the kind of rails used for a bridge that conveys both humans and vehicles, look her weak the rails look.

With all the expatriates we keep employing to build our roads our roads have not gotten better, yet plenty are still of low quality yet we pay them in billions.

Why can't Nigerian government sponsor Nigerians to those over seas schools so Nigerians can start building the roads and bridges cause obviously the foreigner's have failed

I will keep saying it... Nigeria has one of the worst set of drivers in the universe. Half of our drivers on the road have no business near a steering wheel... We just like playing with our lives.

That river in conjunction with the rickety bridge keeps swallowing people like the fish that swallowed Jonah....

Such bridges shouldn't exist in 2019 but ask Mr governor and he will tell you it's a federal government road yet the citizen of the state keep on dying on that route....

Na only God dey protect man for this Naija. For each passing days, there are more than a million ways to die angry
