Four passengers have been confirmed dead as a Toyota Sienna bus collided with a tricycle along Aba – Ikot Ekpene highway,Abia State.
Eyewitnesses said that the bus was heading to Aba on top speed while the tricycle loaded with four passengers including the driver, was said to be on its way to the one of the Abia state border communities with Akwa Ibom state.
