They were 30 passengers, they all lost their lives including the driver of the bus. It happened around Mowe this early morning, it was a night trip coming from Kaduna.”

Of the 18 corps members who will never see home again, @Lola__Josh tells Pulse that nine were still in service and nine were on their way to camp in Lagos when the accident happened.

She tweeted that, “According to her she was on her way to Ogun State University Teaching Hospital from Berger and she noticed there was outrageous traffic.

In a chat with Pulse, Lola says, “On my way to Ogun State University Teaching Hospital (OSUTH) from Berger, there was a long traffic, and on getting to somewhere after Mowe, I saw a bus — that conveyed the deceased people — being moved away from the road.

“On getting to OSUTH, I saw the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Toyota Hilux pick-up truck filled with 30 corpses; 18 were Corpers, nice prospective and nine still in service. No one has come to identify the corpses yet.”

An eyewitness also shared a video on Twitter of the accident scene and the traffic it caused.
