The Ogun State Sector Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) confirmed the incident in a statement issued by its spokesperson, Florence Okpe, from Abeokuta.

According to the FRSC, the accident took place at approximately 7:00 a.m. and involved three vehicles: a Mack truck (registration number SEY 363 YY), a tanker (T2900LA), and a commercial bus (LSD 180 YA).

A total of 15 individuals were involved in the crash—13 men and two women. Of these, seven lost their lives, and four others sustained varying degrees of injuries.

Preliminary investigations attributed the accident to excessive speeding and a loss of control by the driver of the Mack truck, which led to a collision with the tanker and the bus.

Okpe stated that the injured victims were taken to Divine Touch Hospital and Glory Centre Hospital in Ibafo, while the bodies of the deceased were deposited at the Idera morgue in Sagamu.

Sector Commander Akinwumi Fasakin extended his condolences to the bereaved families and urged individuals whose loved ones may have been traveling in the area and are yet to be reached to contact the FRSC office in Ibafo for assistance.

VIOLENCE MUST END! ALGON Takes Radical Step To Restore Peace By Banning Transport Unions Across Osun!.

Published

on

The Osun State chapter of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) has suspended the operations of all transport unions within public motor parks across the state. This measure was taken in response to a series of violent clashes between rival groups, which the association deemed necessary to maintain public order and protect residents.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

  • Rationale for Suspension: The action follows repeated violent incidents involving factional disputes within the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), which resulted in the death of a toddler and the shooting of an elderly man.

  • Safety Concerns: ALGON Vice Chairman, Lanre Balogun, noted that public motor parks had increasingly become unsafe for commuters and operators, turning into hideouts for criminals.

  • Immediate Directive: Effective immediately, all transport unions—including motorcycle and tricycle operators—are prohibited from activities in public motor parks across the state’s 30 local government areas and the Ife East Area Office in Modakeke.

  • Security Measures: ALGON has requested that security agencies take control of these facilities to restore peace and track down individuals involved in the violence, specifically calling for the arrest of NURTW factional leader Nurudeen Alowonle.

  • Legal Basis: Balogun explained that the decision is supported by the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which grants local governments the authority to regulate motor parks and maintain public order. He emphasized that local government chairmen would not allow facilities under their control to become security threats, even if other authorities prioritize political considerations over safety.

The suspension will remain in effect until order is restored and public safety is ensured within the state’s transport sector.
