Two pedestrians were killed by a Honda sports utility vehicle which drove against the traffic around Ibafo area on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Christmas Day.

Clement Oladele, Ogun Sector Commander of Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday that three others were injured in the accident.

Mr Oladele said that a Honda Element SUV Jeep, with registration number, KSF 946 DB, drove against the traffic and knocked down two pedestrians waiting to board a commercial bus, killing them instantly and injuring three others.

Mr Oladele advised motorists to desist from driving against traffic and adhere strictly to traffic rules and regulations to avoid unnecessary loss of lives and property.
