A witness said the accident, which happened around 6:04pm on Wednesday, involved an 18 -seater commuter Hiace bus with registration number, ABJ 49 XH.

He said the bus, which was coming on high speed from the Lokoja axis, rammed into a pothole, and in the process, the driver lost control and crashed into a ditch.

He said eight passengers, comprising four male adults and four female adults, sustained injuries.
