Eleven persons died yesterday in an accident on the Benin-Sagamu road.
The accident, which involved a luxury bus and an 18-seater Hiace commercial bus, was said to have occurred at about 10am at a portion of the road, which was recently rehabilitated by the Federal Ministry of Works.
Eye witnesses said the luxury bus, with registration number XU 824 BDG, collided with the Hiace bus with registration number XZ 176 JJJ.
The witnesses said the luxury bus was attempting to overtake some vehicles when the accident occurred.
A passenger in the bus, Felix Nwado, said they took off from Maza-Maza, Lagos State, and were headed for Onitsha and Enugu.
Among the dead were a woman and her baby.
Federal Road Safety Corps officials were said to have removed the remains of the victims from the wrecked bus.
