It was tragic in Enugu on Sunday night, as 13 passengers travelling in a Toyota bus were burnt to death at Four-Corner Junction, Enugu South Local Council, near Enugu State metropolis.
The Guardian gathered that the victims were apparently attempting to beat the Monday sit-at-home in the Southeast region and decided to board a 14-seater bus on Sunday night from Imo to Adamawa State.
“One of the occupants who survived jumped out from the window of the bus and was rescued by security operatives.“Officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps took the charred bodies of the victims to the morgue of the UNTH,” the witness said.
