Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>No fewer than 20 passengers were reportedly roasted alive on Friday as a result of a fatal accident in Ibarapa geo-political zone in Oyo state.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST gathered that the accident occurred Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Sources told DAILY POST that the accident involved two vehicles, a commercial bus and a Sienna.<\/p>\n

The accident occurred at Lanlate, Maya Junction in Ibarapa East Local Government area of Oyo State.<\/p>\n

The two vehicles which were said to be traveling in different directions collided and caught fire immediately.<\/p>\n

A source said that only two passengers survived the accident while others and the vehicles were razed beyond recognition.<\/p>\n

Chairman, Ibarapa East Local Government, Hon Gbenga Obalowo, confirmed the incident.<\/p>\n

Obalowo, who led a rescue team to the scene of the accident described it as pathetic and unfortunate.<\/p>\n

He used the opportunity to sympathise with the families of those who died in the incident.<\/p>\n

Obalowo, while speaking further added that the two survivors are currently receiving medical attention at Awojobi Hospital in Eruwa.<\/p>\n


\nHe said that the corpses of those burnt have been deposited at a morgue.<\/p>\n

He appealed to motorists, particularly commercial drivers to be more careful while on the wheel.<\/p>\n

Obalowo said, \u201cIt was a fatal accident hence it was a gory sight. We counted over twenty human bodies burnt completely.<\/p>\n

\u201cI learnt they had a head on collision and the two vehicles, a commercial bus and a Sienna which was also conveying passengers caught fire and got burnt beyond repair.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur drivers need to avoid over speeding. They should consider other road users and avoid reckless driving.\u201d<\/p>\n
