The commercial bus caught fire, killing seven people on board while injuring many more on a dark Sunday in Lagos.
Near the Third Mainland Bridge, at the well-known Iyana Oworo, the tragedy took place.
The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) reports that upon arrival at the location, it was found that a commercial bus carrying 14 people was on fire.
The commercial bus has the Mazda license plate KJA 699 GY.
Twelve passengers were said to be trapped inside the burning vehicle as a result of the driver’s speeding and carelessness, it was learned.
Dr Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, the Permanent Secretary of LASEMA, said that while the driver managed to escape with some burns, three female adults were rescued and taken to Gbagada General Hospital, while a male adult was treated on the spot by LASAMBUS.
