About nine people were killed along the Benin-Ore expressway when a Toyota Hiace bus in motion allegedly burst into flames.
Ten passengers were rescued with three of them sustaining varying degrees of injuries
According to a statement signed by the sector commander of the Ogun State Federal Roads Safety Corps, Clement Oladele, the ill-fated vehicle was coming from the eastern part of the country and was heading to Lagos.
The authorities say there were inflammable chemical substances in the vehicle which they suspect could have led to the flame.
