The Ogun State government said it has ordered a full investigation into the immediate and remote causes of the road accident that claimed 10 lives and left three others severely injured on Friday.

DAILY POST reports that a bus conveying 15 passengers plunged from the Omu bridge located at the Awa Ijebu axis of the expressway.

Reacting to the development, the Commissioner for Transportation, Olugbenga Dairo, on Monday expressed his condolences to families of the victims, describing the incident as a painful occurrence that could have been averted.

He said, “We are saddened by the tragic accident that occurred, our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones of the deceased during this very difficult time. No words can fully capture the sorrow of this moment.”

The commissioner assured that findings from the investigation would further guide safety policies and reforms, to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Dairo added that the state government, through relevant agencies, was working to enhance road signage, expand speed enforcement measures and promote responsible driving across Ogun State highways.

He reaffirmed the Abiodun-led administration’s commitment to the safety of lives on all state routes, adding that it would continue to collaborate with relevant authorities, including Police, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), public transport operators and unions to ensure compliance with road safety standards and prevent future occurrences.
