development in a telephone interview with reporters on Sunday. He further explained that nine persons died
in the fire that engulfed the vehicle; two died without burns while many others
who sustained injuries are receiving treatment at Madonna clinic in the
area.
According to him, the accident occurred when the tyre of an
oncoming Toyota Sienna van exploded and rammed into the bus carrying the women,
a situation that led to the bus going up in flames. It was gathered that a
coaster bus in which the women were travelling bore the inscription of “Women For Change Initiative”, a pseudo-political NGO promoted by First Lady,
Patience Jonathan.

died except for a woman who managed to escape and is receiving medical
attention. The women were returning from
Okrika in Rivers state where they had gone to pay a two-day a solidarity visit
to Mrs. Jonathan
