BREAKING: Collision in Ibadan, Many Feared Dead
A traffic accident which took place earlier today in the Elewi Odo area along the Iwo Road-Ojoo Expressway in Ibadan has left many in dismay.
The incident involved a commercial bus loaded with bags of pepper that collided with a lorry.
Eyewitnesses who spoke to AGIDIGBO FM NEWS reported that the accident was caused by the lorry driver driving against traffic on a one-way section of the road. This reckless manoeuvre led to the unfortunate crash.
This incident follows a recent accident near the Agbowo area on the same Iwo Road-Ojoo Expressway, highlighting ongoing safety concerns along this busy route.
Ajibade David Olusesan who made a comment on Facebook, noted the reoccurrence of accidents on the Iwo Road-Ojoo Expressway, describing the areas as a “death trap”
