Two kids, eight others die in auto crash

At least two children and eight other passengers were burnt to death while 12 others sustained severe burns in a motor accident in Badagry area of Lagos State. 

A witness said a car and a commercial bus collided at Iyana Yafin in Badagry Local Government Area on Monday night and immediately burst into flames.
It was learnt that residents and sympathisers tried fruitlessly to curtail the fire which followed the collision about 8:30p.m. on Lagos-Badagry Expressway. Sympathisers also had a hectic time in rescuing the passengers.
 The accident caused gridlock and forced several motorists to scamper into safety. It could not be ascertained if any of the vehicles was carrying jerrycans of fuel because of the unending fuel crisis. Another witness said that the bus with registration No. KJA 654 XF drove against the traffic in order to avoid being impounded by the Nigerian Customs Service.
