Many passengers escaped death on Monday after a luxury bus coming from Abuja suddenly caught fire in Arigidi-Agbaluku, Akoko North West Local Government Area of Ondo State.
It was gathered that the passengers left their belongings and alighted quickly as the large inferno engulfed the bus.
An eyewitness at the scene of the incident, Jamiu Alli, urged the state government to rejuvenate the fire station in Ikare-Akoko.
He added that as a way of repressing future occurrences, the government needs to establish fire stations across the 18 council areas of the state.
Confirming the incident, the Unit Commander of Federal Road Safety Corps for Ikare, Alabi Oluropo, said his men were making relentless efforts to ease the traffic congestion.
