Two brothers were burnt to death in an accident on Wednesday 22nd June
on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway.
Witnesses said they were returning from Alaba market with six
30-litres jerry cans of petrol which they were taking to the neighbouring Benin
Republic when the accident happened.
“The two of them, of the same father, were burnt beyond recognition by
fire as a result of petrol in their car.
“Unfortunately, two of them have pregnant wives,’’ a family source
said.
Sulaiman Taiwo, Unit Commander, Badagry Command, of the Federal Road
Safety Corps (FRSC), confirmed the accident.
Mr Taiwo said the accident involved a Nissan Car in which the brothers
were travelling and a Mitsubishi Jeep.
He said the driver of the Nissan car must have been overspeeding and
lost control before hitting the Mitsubishi.
