The Burnt Commercial Bus

A tragic motor accident along the Abakaliki-Enugu expressway, Ebonyi State, has claimed at least five lives and injured seven others.

The incident, SaharaReporters gathered, occurred at the G-Hostel axis along the road.

The State Police Public Relations Officer, Joshua Ukandu, who confirmed the incident to journalists in Abakaliki, said the accident involved a fully-loaded commercial bus travelling from Enugu.
