Many unidentified passengers have been reported dead in a horrific accident involving a commercial bus belonging to Flight Transport Company on the Abuja-Makurdi Highway accident.

The tragic incident occurred in the early hours of Thursday, killing 28 passengers and many others injured.

A Facebook user, Oba Ogede, posted the video and wrote: “Flight Bus again. Please check on your loved ones traveling to Abuja/Makurdi. Why always Flight? Accident Flight. Arrogant drivers Flight Bus. Why always them?”
 
In the video obtained by Thewatch Africa captured a heartbreaking scene on the road, where the lifeless bodies of at least seven passengers lay scattered as nearby, onlookers expressed their grief and despair in response to the tragic sight.

In the video, a witness, believed to be a passenger on a different bus, could be heard lamenting about the reckless speed of the bus driver before the horrifying accident occurred.

The unidentified narrator said, “When this driver overtook us, I was complaining about his speed. This Flight Bus, I was complaining. Just look at it. I was complaining about the speed of this very driver."

The recent deadly accident occurred just a month after a tragic incident in which at least 30 individuals lost their lives in a similar crash involving a bus operated by the same Flight Transport Company on the Ore-Lagos Expressway in Ondo State.
