FRSC Sector Commander, Enugu State Command, Joseph Toby, said the accident followed a collision between a 14-seater bus with 12 occupants and a truck with a driver and his conductor.

He said those in the 14-seater bus were making a night journey from Owerri, Imo, to Kano. He said: “It’s highly likely that the 14-seater bus might have carried at least one or two gallons of fuel that got ignited immediately the collision took place.

“It was not just an accident but a serious fire scene in which the state fire service spent several minutes and a reinforcement of their water truck to put out. (NAN)
