Seven people lost their lives in an accident on the Osogbo-Ilobu highway on Tuesday, according to the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC).
The workers who spoke in separate interviews with journalists on Monday in Abuja said the delay had compounded the hardship that citizens had to bear.
sector commander of FRSC in Anambra said the incident, which occurred on Sunday night, was caused by speeding and wrongful overtaking.
“The injured ones are receiving treatment at Alex-Ekwueme Federal Teaching Hospital,” he said.
Mr Dawulung said that 20 people, 15 male adults, four female adults and one male child, were involved in the accident.
FRSC has advised drivers against driving under the influence of alcohol or abusing substances in 2024 to minimise road crashes.
Mr Ibrahim said the accident occurred at about 2.50 p.m. due to speeding and a burst tyre.
