16 Police Recruits Die in Auto Crash In Kwara State



No fewer than  16 police recruits were burnt to death while six others were critically injured in an auto accident on  Sunday in Omu Aran, Kwara  State.

The victims were said to be on their way  to Nasarawa State when the accident occurred at about  10am.

An unspecified number of women were said to be among  the dead in the accident involving an 18-seater Hummer bus and a Mercedes Benz 190 model.

While a source, who claimed to be an eyewitness  told journalists that 16 people died, the Kwara State Sector  Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps,  Mr. Christopher Ademoluti, said only two people died.

Ademoluti, in a telephone interview with our correspondent, said the driver of the Mercedez Benz had a locked steering.

He explained that in an attempt by the driver to make the steering to be free, the vehicle veered off to the other side of the road and the Hummer bus rammed onto it, hit an electric pole and a house before it burst into flame.
