According to Akinbiyi, the cause of the crash was sleeping behind the wheel, coupled with speeding and loss of control on the part of the Rio car driver.
The TRACE spokesman, while quoting eyewitnesses, said the Rio car was occupied by a driver, a passenger and “three men of God” who were dressed in white robes.
He noted that the car was coming from Oke-Iragbiji in Osun State, where the clerics had held prayers and a deliverance service.(agency)/SHARE THIS
