FRSC commander, Badagry Unit, William Manga, confirmed this to journalists, saying the accident occurred at about 12:54 a.m.
According to Mr Manga, the command was informed around 12:57 a.m., and officers arrived at the scene of the accident involving a car and a truck at 1:02 a.m.
“The accident occurred at Ibereko Barracks axis of the Badagry expressway.
“The accident involved a Howo truck with registration number KZR73ZT and a Mazda car with registration number KTU900BK,” said Mr Manga.
