beyond recognition at the Akuzu end of the Awka-Onitsha expressway on Monday,

The unit commander, Federal Road Safety
Corps, Mr. Justin Bosah, who confirmed the incident, said the situation could
not be controlled because the vehicle had no fire extinguisher. He urged
drivers to always carry fire extinguishers.
One of the passengers who, spoke to AbsRadio said they alerted the driver when they saw smoke emanating from the back of the vehicle but he did not take it serious.
A Nigerian soldier, Nonso, who was on his way to Maiduguri, Borno State took to Instagram to recount how he survived by jumping out through the window of the bus.
