The victims who were members of the Salvation Army were returning from a church program in Lagos when the 18-Seater Toyota Hiace bus they were travelling in had a head-on collision with a Dangote Cement truck at the Ovia River.

Reacting to the news of their death, the former Anambra State governor via his Twitter handle on Saturday commiserated with the ministry following the tragic incident.

He also prayed for the quick recovery of the injured.

He wrote: “I received with shock, the heartwrenching report of a fatal road accident involving members of the Salvation Army, which claimed the lives of 12 officers (pastors), a baby and the driver. I sincerely commiserate with the Salvation Army and the respective families of officers who died in the accident. I pray for the quick recovery of the injured. May God grant eternal rest to the dead.”
