The incident occurred just a little after 7pm on Saturday night.

Sources said the heavy duty truck was driving against traffic and eventually rammed into three mini buses with full load of nine passengers each.

Already, some of the victims have been rushed to the Federal University of Technology Hospital Owerri (FUTHO) for treatment, while seven other confirmed dead had been deposited at the morgue.

A journalist, Chidiebube Okeoma, said the truck rammed into three buses who were driving behind each other.
