Mr Ezekiel SonAllah, the Sector Commander of FRSC in the state, confirmed the incident to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in a telephone interview on Saturday.

SonAllah, who explained that the accident occurred at about 5:48p.m, said it involved six male adults and one female adult.

The sector commander attributed the cause of the crash, which involved one commercial vehicle and a Honda Accord car, to speeding.
