FRSC removes wreck of burnt bus on Niger Bridge
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Onitsha has confirmed the evacuation of the wreck of a burnt commercial bus on the Niger Bridge in Onitsha, Anambra.
FRSC spokeswoman in Onitsha, Margaret Onabe, disclosed this on Sunday.
Ms Onabe noted that the bus went up in flames around 1:30 p.m. before the arrival of the FRSC team, which later evacuated it at about 3:00 p.m.
The FRSC official said all vehicle’s passengers came out of the bus unhurt and that removing the bus eased the gridlock on both stretches of the bridge.
The FRSC official advised motorists to service their vehicles regularly.
