A fatal crash near Ayetoro on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway on Monday resulted in nine deaths and left three others injured.

The accident, which reportedly occurred around 5:30 a.m., involved a Toyota bus with the number plate UYY165ZY and a truck with the registration number DKA244XC.

The bus driver was said to have lost control and collided with the stationary truck.

The spokesperson for the Ogun State Sector Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Florence Okpe, confirmed the incident in a statement sent to journalists on Monday.

Okpe explained, “The fatal crash occurred in the early hours this morning about 0530HRS  on Lagos-Ibadan expressway around Ayetoro area.

“A total of 13 people were involved which comprised of 10 male adults and 3 female adults and 09 were recorded killed (6 male and 3 female) while 3 were injured.

“The suspected causes of the fatal crash were excessive speed and fatigue which led to loss of control and the driver rammed into a station truck.

“The injured victims were taken to Famobis Hospital, Mowe, while the deceased were deposited at Idera morgue Sagamu.”

Meanwhile, the Sector Commander expressed deep concern over the recklessness of some drivers who fail to observe the stipulated speed limits and refuse to comply with the mandatory 15-minute rest after every four hours of driving.

He extended his sympathies to the families of the crash victims and urged them to contact the Mowe Unit Command for further information about the incident.

On Monday, a meeting of EU foreign ministers reportedly approved a 16th package of sanctions against Russia while saying a swift casefire that favors Moscow will not be accepted. However, Hungary, whose leader Viktor Orban has remained close to Russian President Vladimir Putin and has persistently complicated EU efforts to support Ukraine, said it will not back further sanctions. The country’s Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto also said his country will not agree to a boost in EU military aid as US President Donald Trump continues his push to force Ukraine to agree to a peace deal with Russia. US officials met their Russian counterparts last week, while Trump and Zelenskyy have embarked on a bitter spat via the media, with the US leader accusing Kyiv of starting the war and questioning the Ukrainian president’s legitimacy. Trump’s peace plan, which appears designed to illustrate his self-appointed role as a global dealmaker, faces resistance on both sides. Russia said on Monday that the quick end to the war is “unacceptable”. A ceasefire without a long-term settlement “is the path to a swift resumption of fighting and a resumption of the conflict with even more serious consequences, including consequences for Russian-US relations,” Moscow’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said, according to the state-run RIA Novosti news agency. Meanwhile, Ukraine signalled on Sunday that a contentious proposal that would hand Washington $500bn worth of profits from Ukrainian rare minerals has now been taken off the table, and that talks on a different deal are progressing. Zelenskyy also told a forum in Kyiv that he would resign his post if that meant peace was achieved.
