The Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE) has confirmed that two people died in a lone-vehicle accident early Friday morning around Oremeji Bus Stop on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
According to TRACE Spokesperson Babatunde Akinbiyi, the accident involved a Mazda bus (registration YNF 414 XN) and occurred at approximately 1:30 a.m. The two victims, both adult males—the driver and the conductor—died on the spot, with no other injuries reported.
Eyewitnesses said the bus lost control due to speeding, hit a road barrier, and somersaulted. The vehicle was reportedly conveying live chicks at the time of the crash.
Akinbiyi added that the bus has been towed to the Ibafo Motor Traffic Division of the Police for further investigation. The remains of the victims were deposited at Divine Touch Hospital morgue in Ibafo by operatives of TRACE, the Police, and the Ogun State Emergency Services (OGSAES).
Traffic was briefly disrupted during the rescue operation but was later restored through the coordinated efforts of TRACE and the Police.
