According to him, the bus took off from Zuba, Federal Capital Territory heading towards Benin but collided with a truck heading towards Auchi, killing the whole occupants of the bus.

“It happened on Saturday morning, there must have been fatigue from the driver coming from Abuja and the driver may have slept off and in the process had a collision with the truck.

“They were burnt and we were able to contact the deceased relations because we were able to get the vehicle manifest,” he said.

Mathew said the occupants of the truck, the driver and his motor boy escaped unhurt.

He, however, advised drivers that whenever they experience fatigue on the road they should stop and relax for some minutes before continuing the journey.
