The accident, according to eyewitness, occurred at about 8am while the sister were on their way to school. The bus lost control and ran over them, killing the twin sisters and injuring their older brother.
The twins sisters were aged 8, and the brother is 14.
A witness told NAN that, “We heard a sound and we quickly rushed down before we realized that a vehicle had knocked down some pupils in school uniform.
“We immediately stopped a taxi and took the children to the hospital and the nurses tried their best. But they later confirmed that the girls were dead while their brother is responding to treatment.”
Adegoke Adetunji, the FRSC Sector Commander in Ogun, who confirmed the accident, said it was a lone accident in which the driver ran over the children.
The driver of the vehicle, who tried to escape out of fear, had been arrested by police and he's in custody.
