The driver, who was conveying pepper and some perishable items in a Toyota Hiace bus, was reportedly speeding when he lost control and rammed into two other vehicles and the pedestrian, killing the pedestrian and injuring one passenger.

Meanwhile, the General Manager of LASTMA, Olalekan Bakare-Oki, was said to have appealed to pedestrians to always use government-designated bus stops when boarding commercial buses.

He also warned drivers to ensure a routine check of their vehicles before embarking on any journey.
