The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Ogun Command, has confirmed that four people died while eight others were injured in a lone accident along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
The crash occurred in front of Christopher University in the early hours of Sunday, around 1:30 a.m., involving a commercial Toyota HiAce bus.
According to the FRSC spokesperson, Afolabi Odunsi, a total of 13 passengers were involved, including 11 men and two women. Among them, eight sustained injuries, while four adult males lost their lives.
Preliminary findings revealed that the accident was caused by a tyre burst combined with overspeeding, which led to the driver losing control of the vehicle.

The vehicle and recovered belongings were handed over to the Motor Traffic Division of the Redeemed Police Station.
