The accident involved the Dangote truck registered RAN788AX and a BAJAJ motorcycle registered AAB107V.

Okpe said: “Two adult women were injured. One adult male and two adult females were killed in the crash. One person was not injured. »

“The truck carrying cement was coming from Sango towards Lagos, and while descending a slope, it was suspected to have developed brake failure, so it lost control and swerved off the road, thus crashing in a store.”

“The dead victims are either shopkeepers or passengers waiting for vehicles at the bus stop,” Okpe said.
