The Oyo State Fire Service has recovered two bodies following a tanker accident in Ibadan on Saturday. The incident occurred on the Ibadan/Lagos Expressway in the Sat Guru Mahraji area. The tanker, with a registration number BDJ 27IXG, was carrying 45,000 litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) and swerved off the road, crashing into a ditch.
Two men were trapped inside the tanker and tragically lost their lives. The Oyo Fire Service recovered their remains and handed them over to the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) for further investigation. Oyo State Fire Service Chairman Maroof Akinwande stated that preliminary reports suggested brake failure may have caused the accident.
