At least 18 persons died in three separate road crashes within five days on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Ogun has said.
The accidents have been attributed to speeding, wrongful overtaking, and the lack of adequate rest, leading to fatigue, among other factors.
The command’s Spokesperson, Florence Okpe, confirmed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ota, Ogun on Wednesday.
NAN learnt that the accidents, which occurred between Friday and Tuesday, also left six other persons with various degrees of injuries.
