The state Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Mr Solomon Agure, said 73 people were involved in the accident, saying that ten of them died on the spot while five other persons were fatally injured with deep cut injuries.

Agure said that the injured were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment while the corpses were deposited at the Holy Memorial Mortuary, Ochadamu in Ofu Local Government area, near Anyigba.
