The Federal Road Safety Corps has confirmed that 17 Lagos-bound passengers were burnt to death in an accident that occurred along Abuja-Lokoja highway on Tuesday highway.

Confirming the incident, FCT sector commander of the FRSC, Mr Samuel Ogar Ochi, added that four among the passengers, who departed Gombe, survived the crash with degrees of burns.

Officials of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) took them to Abaji General Hospital for treatment.

He said the agency would collaborate with security agencies and environmental officials to see how a mass burial will be carried out since the corpses were burnt beyond recognition.
