The lawmaker representing Ibarapa East/Ido Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives and Chairman of the House Committee on the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA), Hon.

The accident reportedly occurred on Tuesday when a trailer carrying 45,000 litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) lost control and rammed into several tricycles at the Fruits Market along the Oje–Beere route in Ibadan South-East Local Government Area. At least six persons, including a motorcyclist, were confirmed dead, while several others sustained varying degrees of injuries.

Reacting to the incident, Oseni described the loss of lives as tragic and avoidable, stressing the need for stricter adherence to road safety measures, especially for heavy-duty vehicles transporting flammable substances.
“My heart goes out to the families who lost their loved ones in this unfortunate incident. I also sympathise with those who sustained injuries and pray for their speedy recovery,” he said.
The lawmaker urged regulatory agencies and transport operators to prioritise routine vehicle maintenance and strict compliance with safety standards to prevent future occurrences. He also called for increased public awareness on road safety.
Oseni emphasised that collective efforts are essential to safeguard lives and prevent similar tragedies. He prayed for the repose of the souls of the deceased and for strength for their families in this difficult time.
