Grief overwhelmed Abuja and Ogun state on Christmas and Boxing Day as no fewer than seven persons perished in separate car accidents while others sustained various degrees of injury.

On Christmas Day, a man identified as Samson Adetunji Alowe died alongside his wife and three children in a fatal accident along the Kubwa-Abuja expressway.

A witness said the Jeep conveying the Alowe family ran into a pillar and burst into flame that charred the bodies of the occupants. None escaped. They were Samson Adetunji Alowe (husband 42 years), Opeyemi Adetunji Alowe (40) wife, Angel Adetunji Alowe (12)  daughter, Propser Adetunji Alowe (10) son and Fortune Adetunji Olow (8) Son

In Ogun State, the state Command of Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) on Friday said that two persons died while four others sustained injuries in an accident at Nasfat Area, Atan-Idiroko Road.

The Ogun Sector Commander of FRSC, Mr Clement Oladele, said this in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ota, Ogun.

Oladele said that the accident which involved a Toyota Camry car and a motorcycle happened at about 12.20 p.m. on Thursday.

He explained that a Toyota Camry car with registration number, SMK 36 CP, lost control due to speeding and rammed into a Bajaj Boxer Motorcycle.

“Seven persons were involved in the accident in which two died while four others sustained various degrees of injuries.

“The corpses of the victims have been deposited at the Mortuary, General Hospital, Idiroko, while the survivors are also receiving treatment at the same hospital,” he said.

The FRSC boss advised motorists to be patient, shun speeding and adhere strictly to traffic rules and regulations to avoid unnecessary loss of lives and property.
