A commercial bus conveying mostly women on a burial trip from Lagos to Benin plunged into River J4, near Ogbere on the
Ijebu-Ode-Ore Expressway on Friday, leaving no fewer than 33 persons dead.
The Head of Operation of the FRSC in Ogun, Mrs Cecilia Alao, said that the accident occurred at about 12 noon when the driver of the 36-seater coastal bus slept off.
Alao said that the exact number of passengers and the registration number of the vehicle were yet to be ascertained.
She said that all the victims, apart from the driver, were women travelling from Lagos to Benin to attend a burial ceremony.
The FRSC head of operations, who described the rescue operation as difficult, said that the command engaged the services of local divers who helped to rescued three of the passengers.
