A witness said that 20 passengers involved in the incident were burnt beyond recognition.
Obalowo described the incident as pathetic and unfortunate.
He sympathised with the families of those who lost their lives in the accident.
However, the FRSC Sector Commander in Oyo State, Joshua Adekanye, could not be reached for comments on the incident as several calls put to him were not responded to. (NAN, excluding headline)
