The Ibadan-Sagamu expressway, a major corridor linking Oyo and Ogun States, has recorded several fatal accidents in recent years, with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE) often attributing crashes to speed violation, loss of control and vehicle failure.
In one of such incidents, the FRSC Ogun State Command confirmed an accident along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway near Sagamu which claimed five lives while nine others were injured, blaming speed violation.
In another, TRACE confirmed a bus somersaulting opposite Conoil filling station near Sagamu Interchange, leaving two dead and three injured after driver lost control due to speeding.
The latest accident reported by Kunle Afod comes hours after vehicles conveying Tinubu praise singers to the stadium were involved in an accident in Uyo, and a City Boy Movement bus crashed on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Oct 6, 2026 — incidents that also raised concerns about emergency response and availability of ambulances.
As of the time of filing this report, the number of vehicles involved, number of casualties and extent of injuries in the Ibadan-Sagamu accident remain unclear, with no official statement yet from the FRSC Ogun Command or TRACE.
Efforts to get official confirmation from the FRSC and Ogun State emergency services as of the time of filing this report were unsuccessful.
