Five people were injured after an 18-seater commuter bus crashed into a wooden shop beside the Asio filling station in Abaji, along the Abuja-Lokoja highway.

A witness said the accident happened around 4:47 pm on Sunday, when the driver of a Toyota commuter bus with registration number KTG 07 XG lost control after one of his tyres burst and crashed into the shop.

He said three people, including the driver and two others sitting in front of the shop, sustained injuries and were taken to Abaji General Hospital.
