The agency’s spokesperson in the state, Agnes Ogungbemi, in a statement said the incident occurred at about 12.45 a.m.
Ogungbemi explained that a Toyota Camry car with registration number AAB53AJ collided with a mini Suzuki bus (locally referred to as Korope) with registration number SGB914XA.
She said: “Six passengers were involved in the accident leading to only two persons sustaining severe injuries.

Ogungbemi appealed to motorists and other road users to abide by road safety regulations and shun anything capable of leading to loss of lives and property.
