The acting sector commander, Medinat Akanbi, told journalists in Osogbo on Saturday that the deceased victims were a commercial motorcyclist and his passenger.

She said a Sports Utility Vehicle with Abuja number plate KUJ 417 DH had a head-on collision with a commercial motorcycle with number plate SGB 708 UH, leading to the death of the two persons.

She said the remains of the deceased have been deposited at the morgue of the University of Osun Teaching Hospital, Osogbo.

Akanbi advised road users to always comply with safety ordinances.
