According to the police, an unspecified number of passengers in the Yotung bus and the mini buses were also injured but left for undisclosed health facilities within the area.
According to an eye witness, Mr Muhammed Atiku, driver of the cargo truck which was in front of the Graphic vehicle, had to swerve the on-coming Yutong which was speeding to overtake a number of vehicles from the other direction and crossed to his lane.
He said in the process, his truck fell sideways into the bush and the Graphic van behind him crashed into the Yutong bus while the mini bus also went into the bush.
At the time of leaving the scene, policemen from Anyinam under the leadership of Inspector Sylvester Tawia were trying desperately to clear the accident scene.
