On Friday night, several accidents occurred in the Lafenwa area of Abeokuta in Ogun, resulting in the confirmed deaths of four individuals. Mrs. Florence Okpe, the Public Education Officer for the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Ogun, provided confirmation of the incident to reporters on Saturday.
Okpe attributed the cause of the accident to the tanker driver’s excessive speed. According to her, the incident involved a tanker labeled T-15321LA, a BMW car with license plate number TTD 421 CX, and an unregistered Nissan jeep. Okpe further explained that the tanker driver was attempting to navigate a turn at the Lafenwa Roundabout when he lost control and collided with both vehicles and a building’s fence.
