“The suspected causes of the crash were obstruction and Speed Violation. The injured victims and corpses were taken to General Hospital, Ilaro, and Hosanna Hospital, Ilaro”.

Okpe threatened that the Corps would begin clampdown on motorists parking indiscriminately on the road.

Meanwhile, Ogun Sector Commander of FRSC, Anthony Uga has frowned at the rate at which vehicles are being packed indiscriminately on road roadside.

He further advised motorists to drive within the stipulated speed limit and observe road furniture.
