Many passengers are feared dead in multiple crashes along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.

The incident involved two vehicles and a fuel tanker which went up in flames around the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministry (MFM) Prayer City.

The Spokesperson of the Federal Road Safety Corp (FRSC), Ogun Command, Florence Okpe, confirmed Thursday’s crash in a terse statement made available to newsmen in Abeokuta.

She said “A multiple crash involving a Tanker and two other vehicles just occurred around mountain of fire church on the outward section of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

“There is an outbreak of fire at the scene. Motorists are advised to drive cautiously and remain calm until the fire is extinguished.”
