He said two of the passengers were rescued alive before the whole vehicle went up in flames. He said the two surviving passengers were taken to a nearby hospital by officials of Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) for medical attention.
Ajah narrated that ,”the driver could not negotiate a bend due to overspeeding. He lost control and somersaulted multiple times inside the bush.We were able to rescue two persons before the bus caught fire and we ran away.
“Chief Onyebuchi Ogbadu, Chairman, Ivo Local Government Area later brought water tankers and put out the fire. Also, about 10 victims burnt beyond recognition have been evacuated to the mortuary by FRSC officials”
Ebonyi Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) DSP Loveth Odah, also confirmed the accident but noted that she was yet to get details of the incident.
