Five persons were confirmed dead in an accident on Fidiwo bridge on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
Mrs Okpe attributed the cause of the accident to excessive speed on the part of the Sienna driver.
A driver and his motor boy died in a crash along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, the Ogun Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE) said.
Meanwhile, the state sector commander of FRSC, Ahmed Umar, sympathised with the families of the victims.
The FRSC official said 27 passengers comprising 25 men, two women and a female child were involved in the accident, out of which seven were burnt beyond recognition.
Mr Okuoimose said the suspects jumped through the fence and broke into the house of a resident, Ubaka Agbasiefo, to commit the offences.
Mr Umar said the accident that occurred at about 4:30 a.m., was caused by excessive speed and loss of control by one of the drivers.
The sector commander advised motorists to ensure that their vehicles are working perfectly before embarking on any trip while also cautioning them on speed violations.
“Traffic has been diverted and FRSC personnel are still on the ground trying to manage the situation.”
