At least seven people were killed and five others injured in an auto crash in Gunu village, Munya local council in Niger, on Tuesday night.
FRSC sector commander Kumar Tsukwam told journalists on Wednesday that the crash involved a Toyota Camry and a Sharon commercial bus.
“Twelve persons were involved in the accident. Seven of them died, while five others sustained injuries,” he said.
Mr Tsukwam said the injured persons were taken to the nearest hospital, while the dead were taken to the general hospital mortuary in Minna.
“We recovered the sum of N36,200, one bag of yam, a Nikon camera, two chargers and a cord, wedding invitation cards, a flash drive, one phone battery, four keys, pictures, and a small bag,” the FRSC commander stated.
He added that FRSC had handed the crashed vehicles to the police at Munya Divisional Police Office.
