The accident, which transpired around 8:32 am, also left 10 people injured.
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) said 14 people were involved in the accident, “in which two died instantly, leaving 10 people injured and 2 people unhurt.”
FRSC spokesperson Florence Okpe, based in Ogun, identified the vehicles involved as a white Mazda bus with registration number XV945EPE and an unregistered Howo Sino Truck.
