Many people have been reportedly feared dead opposite the NASFAT junction area of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway when a fatal accident occurred on Thursday, January 1, 2026. This is just days after the Nigerian-British boxer Anthony Joshua had a similar accident on the road.

The accident involved an 18-seater commercial bus that was coming from Lagos and ran underneath a truck that was coming from Ibadan but was making a U-turn near the NASFAT area.
