An accident which occurred this morning by 8:30am at the Wictech stretch of the Lagos – Ibadan expressway about two km away from Danco filling station, reportedly claimed the lives of Eight persons, five males and three females, all believed to be Edo indigenes.

The late Edo indigenes who arrived the country from Spain this morning, had chartered the bus marked BEN 313 YX on the fleet of Iyare Motors and were going to Benin City for an engagement, when the accident happened.

Confirming the incident, the Public Relations Officer of TRACE, Babatunde Akinbiyi, said the driver of the speeding hummer bus ram into the rear of a truck marked MUS 730 XN in bids to overtake it. According to him, seven of the victims died at the accident scene while one other died later. Their remains have been deposited at the morgue of the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital (OOUTH), Sagamu where two others rescued alive, were also receiving treatment.

The Nation reported that operatives of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and the Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps(TRACE) were sighted evacuating victims, clearing obstructions and directing traffic.

We reported on Sunday that thirteen persons, including seven members of the same family, died in two separate road accidents in Enugu and Niger states.  In Enugu State, a Toyota Carina  E car with registration no CM 960 FKJ conveying a family and a Toyota Hiace bus with registration number ENU 75YY belonging to a mass transit company collided.

Seven family members and one other person died in a road accident which occurred at Ugwu Onyeama on the Onitsha-Enugu axis yesterday morning. The police spokesman in Enugu State, SP Ebere Amaraizu, confirmed the incident in a statement issued yesterday. He said following the accident, men of the Traffic Division of the Central Police Station Enugu were alerted and they responded promptly.

In Niger State, five people died in the accident along Minna-Suleja road between Lambata/Kwakuti communities, the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) said.  The Sector Commander, Yusuf Garba, said the accident involved a white BMW with registration BWR 264 SR and Scana truck with registration number ISR 16 XU.

He attributed the accident to over speeding and dangerous overtaking; adding motorists should always obey speed limits as prescribed by the law and also install speed devise in their vehicles to check over speeding.

Hmmmm!
Edo witches
l hail thee

Wasn’t some girl a few weeks ago here on nairaland dissing your Ebira people calling y’all criminals and animals and the Boko Haram of Kogi State, and then you started screaming tribalism?

Witches and wizards have less power but are opportunist waiting for the tiniest mistake to capitalise on.
Do away with those bad habits and characters and see how powerless they are.
They were able to achieve their wickedness from the drivers fault by over speeding and carelessness and the nonchalance of the occupants of the bus, who have every right to control the driver and failed to do so

Edo airways...Village People alert.

5G Wizardry network. Them dey use bug trace them.

Weren't you also complaining about racism and image of Nigerians in the global community?
Well as long as you continue with your tribalism, you can't really complain about about experiencing racism from oyinbo.

Dont be dumb. Anyone with half an education knows the cause of their deaths = bad roads. I am mocking the Village People crew but your brain isn't developed enough to process that so shut and stop yapping like a rabid dog. Ode!

You mentioned village people and you said some tribalistic stuff. Now who's the one being dumb and acting like a dog?
Learn act like a decent man, and stop being tribalistic. When an oyinbo starts dissing and acting racist to Nigerians, you'll be the
first one crying racism. I spit at your hypocrisy.

No! You were also mocking an entire ethnic group

Your foolishness is immeasurable and you should find a better job than reading all my posts. Now bark 3x WOOF.
I have plenty edo friends and we joke as much as we want. EDO isn't an ethnic group by the way so stop being foolish.

But is overtaking not allowed again??
