The accident
which occurred at Ogere axis of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway in Ogun State claimed
the lives of a couple Mr. and Mrs. Rotimi Olugbuyi and Mrs. Toyin Olugbuyi
while they were returning to their Mowe resident after attending a wedding
ceremony in Ibadan.
The couples until
their death were staff of the Lagos State Civil Service. It was gathered that while
the husband Rotimi was a Public Relations Officer from the Lagos State Ministry
of Information attached to Lagos State Scholarship Board, the wife Toyin was a Public
Relations Officer attached to the Lagos State judicial Commission.
Eye witness
account revealed that the car which was driven by Mr. Rotimi had a burst tyre
on motion and skidded off from the their own lane to the other side of the road
where a trailer which was on a high speed heading towards Ibadan rammed into
them, crushing the car and the occupants.
Their body
which was allegedly crushed to pieces was taken to the Ogere office of the
Federal Road Safety Corp where contact was made to their relatives.
The couple
who had been married for 13 years without a child was however buried amidst
tears in their Mowe resident on Sunday in the same grave.
Their remains
were said to have been packed together as their body was crushed into pieces.
Colleagues
from Lagos State Secretariat who were present at the burial described the
couple as very nice, loving, caring and dedicated workers.
A source who
pleaded for anonymity said the wife Toyin was however three months pregnant
before the unfortunate incident.
