At least 18 people burnt to death in a horror accident in southwest Nigeria's Ondo State on Saturday, an official said.
Femi Joseph, the state police spokesperson, said the bodies of the victims had been deposited at the mortuary of the Ondo State General Hospital in Akure, the state capital.
He said the accident involved a fully loaded 18-seater bus moving toward Abuja, the nation's capital, and a truck moving in the opposite direction.
Joseph said the truck collided head-on with the bus while trying to avoid a pothole on the road, after which the bus went up in flames with no single survivor.
