Two people have lost their lives following a tragic road crash in Ogun State, authorities have confirmed.
The fatal accident occurred along a major roadway in the state and involved multiple vehicles. Emergency responders arrived at the scene shortly after the crash to rescue victims and clear the road.
According to eyewitnesses, the collision caused severe damage to the vehicles involved, leaving two occupants dead. Other injured victims were rescued and taken to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.
