According to the Ogun State Commander and Public Information Officer of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Florence Okupe, the incident occurred on Monday when the vehicle the singers from the same family were travelling in collided with another car. The victims died on the spot.
This was coming on the heels of an accident which claimed the lives of seven people along the Lagos/Ibada Last along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway last Saturday.
The spokesperson for the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Ogun, Florence Okpe, confirmed the details of the incident in a statement issued from Abeokuta.
According to Okpe, the collision occurred at 7:00 a.m. and involved a Mack truck with the license plate SEY 363 YY, a tanker registered as T2900LA, and a bus identified by LSD 180 YA.
The FRSC representative reported that a total of 15 individuals were involved in the accident, including 13 men and two women. She noted that four people sustained injuries while seven tragically lost their lives.
Okpe attributed the cause of the accident to excessive speed and the driver of the Mack truck losing control, which resulted in the vehicle colliding with the other two.
