"The crash was a lone fatal one involving a black commercial Toyota Hiace bus with vehicle registration number LND 742XK. "18 persons were involved and unfortunately 10 of them lost their lives and eight other person's injured.

Owoade warned motorists against violating road safety guidelines, adding that the resultant effect of over speeding was road traffic crash.

He advised road users especially travellers to take caution and exercise patience while on the road.

"Slow and steady wins the race. The prayer of every traveller is to reach their destination, it does not matter how long it takes.
