A survivor of the fatal accident that occurred at Mile 49, on the Ore-Lagos expressway, Mr Destiny Sunday has attributed his survival to God Almighty.

“Before I came back to the car another person had already sat down on my seat, i became so furious that led to an argument for some minutes, but the driver and the passengers begged me to go to the back sit, which I obliged to
Another passenger later joined me at the back sit, in the process, I was pressing my phone, felling dizzy, I didn’t know whether the driver was trying to avoid the police that made him follow one way
“I saw when he diverted from his lane to another lane, but I was dozing already, then I slept off
“Few minutes later, I saw a trolling van, coming to rescue me, it was inside the van I opened my eyes, asking someone around me about what happened
“It was there I got the information that the bus I boarded got burnt, that only two persons in the bus survived
Speaking about the victims, a medical doctor, identified as Mr Olatunji Paul confirmed that two survivors were brought to the hospital
