Sixteen people have died in a road accident along the Okene–Osara–Lokoja highway in Kogi State after an 18-seater passenger bus lost control and fell off a bridge in the Osara area early Friday.
The Kogi State Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Lawal Fagge, confirmed the incident in a telephone interview. He said two passengers survived the crash but sustained severe injuries.
