He said the injured passengers and the corpse were taken to Abaji General Hospital by the rescue team of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC).
When contacted, the Abaji unit commander of the commission, ACC Abubakar Shehu Dogondaji, confirmed the accident, which he attributed to speed limit violation and loss of control.
