The injured were taken to the hospital, and the deceased bodies were deposited at Idera Morgue, Sagamu.
The Sector Commander, CC Anthony Uga, expressed sorrow over the avoidable crash, highlighting the importance of drivers taking a 15-minute rest for every four hours of driving to prevent fatigue-related accidents.
