The Mercedes Benz Marcopolo bus with number plate, SMK 867 XG, was said to be heading for Lagos from the South-East when the incident happened.
It reportedly rammed into an Iveco truck with number plate, AAA 193 XP, which was said to have developed a mechanical fault and was parked by the roadside without any caution sign to warn oncoming vehicles.
While nine persons died on the spot, the luxury bus’ motor boy, identified as Ifeanyi Eze, died at a private hospital where he was rushed to for treatment. A witness however says the accident was caused by the driver’s recklessness.
