A devastating accident occurred today on the Oyo Highway, involving the team bus of ABS Football Club, owned by former Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki. The club’s players and staff were en route to an away match when the bus crashed, resulting in multiple injuries.
Details surrounding the incident remain unclear, but initial reports indicate that the bus lost control after a suspected mechanical failure, veering off the road and overturning. Emergency services were quickly on the scene, providing immediate medical attention to the injured players and staff members.
The players, some of whom are said to have sustained minor to moderate injuries, were promptly transported to a nearby hospital. Thankfully, there have been no reports of fatalities, though the situation remains under active investigation.
Club representatives have confirmed that Dr. Saraki is closely monitoring the situation and has expressed his deep concern for the well-being of the injured players and staff. In a statement, the former Senate President conveyed his heartfelt gratitude to the first responders and urged fans and well-wishers to remain hopeful as the team recovers.
“We are grateful for the quick response from emergency teams, and our thoughts are with our players and staff members as they receive treatment. Our priority right now is ensuring their full recovery,” said Dr. Saraki.
