Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun has expressed deep sorrow over the incident and ordered a full investigation, assuring the public that those responsible will be held accountable.

The Olota of Ota, Oba (Prof.) Adeyemi Abdul-Kabir Obalanlege, also described the incident as a painful loss to the town and urged motorists and traders to prioritize safety.

May the souls of the departed rest in peace.
This tragedy is a reminder that road safety is everyone’s responsibility.
