Tuesday, October 28, 2025 - Tragedy struck in Ogbomoso, Oyo State on Monday, October 27, as a bread distribution van reportedly knocked down and killed two middle-aged women along the Alao-Akala Memorial Highway, Randa area.
Eyewitnesses report that the van with registration number
Oyo AME 92 XB, was allegedly speeding when the victims attempted to cross the
road.
"The two of them d!ed instantly,” one of the witnesses
recounted.

survived the impact."
