No fewer than ten people have lost their lives to the ghastly motor vehicle accident that recently occurred on Tuesday night in Oyo State.
It was learnt that the motor accident conveying passengers from Iseyin to Ogbomosho suddenly summersaulted and ten people reportedly died while others sustained serious injuries.
A source who spoke to ODUDUWA NEWS said the bus took a disorderly heap off the road after experiencing a sudden tyre burst on a full speed.
The bus driver, Alhaji Lukman Omipoleko Olope, was said to have died immediately as other casualties were tragically recorded.
He was a fitness enthusiast.
“It was this morning I saw him. He asked if I was going to Ilorin or not. This is so sudden.
“People who saw him before the accident are in shock and disbelief. May God overlook his shortcomings and forgive him,” a grief-stricken ally of the deceased driver, Ashirudeen Ayuba, said.
Meanwhile, the remains of the deceased have been brought back home for burial according to Islamic rites.
A WhatsApp voice note dropped in a group where Olowoeko was a member, which this publication heard revealed that sympathisers have been gathering at Oja Ebedi Motor Park in Iseyin to pay their last tributes to the driver and others.
