Two Islamic Clerics Die After Their SUV Collided With A Bus Before Plunging Into A Canal

Two Islamic clerics lost their lives on Saturday after  their jeep collided with a bus and plunged into a canal at the Iyana Ipaja end of the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway.


The victims, Alhaji Akinsola Al-Ameen and Muyideen Thiamiyu, were coming back from Ikorodu when their vehicle had a tyre burst around 10pm.


According to eyewitnesses, after the tyre burst, Thiamiyu, who was the driver, lost control of the vehicle. He was said to be attempting to bring the jeep to a halt when a big yellow bus with number plate FKJ 201 SH rammed into them, causing both vehicles to veer off the expressway into the canal. May their souls rest in peace.
