Multiple crashes along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway are believed to have killed a large number of passengers.
Two automobiles and a fuel tanker were engaged in the event, which occurred near the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministry (MFM) Prayer City.
The Lagos-Ibadan expressway is notorious for road accidents, with at least 30 people killed so far this year.
