A tragic road accident has claimed the life of a pedestrian after he was struck by a Toyota Coaster bus along the Imowo–Ibadan Road inward Ijebu Ode in Ogun State.

Authorities noted that the section of the road had been placed under a single-lane diversion due to ongoing rehabilitation works, a situation that contributed to traffic buildup after the crash.
