Four people have reportedly died after a trailer fell into a ditch along the old Oyo-Ogbomosho Road.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST learnt that several other people also sustained various degrees of injuries as a result of the accident that occurred on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

The incident, according to sources, happened at the Emaayo-Seminary area in Ogbomosho.<\/p>\n

The trailer, travelling from Oyo towards Ilorin, reportedly fell into a ditch at a badly damaged portion of the road. Its passengers were thrown off and trapped under it till Friday morning.<\/p>\n

The new Ibadan-Oyo-Ogbomosho-Ilorin expressway has been under construction since 2001.<\/p>\n

An Ogbomoso indigene who identified himself as Kolapo said: \u201cSeveral appeals have been made to governments and other relevant agencies at both state and federal levels to repair the road in a standard way and ensure the new Ibadan-Ilorin highway is completed. But they have turned deaf ears, unresponsive and unconcerned about what people go through.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe damaged portion within Ogbomoso metropolis is less than 500 metre long, yet, despite the cries for government\u2019s intervention spanning almost a year now, it has not received attention. Several communal interventions have only offered temporary relief.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further accused the state government of neglecting Ogbomosho, saying: \u201cThe Oyo-Iseyin road is a federal government road; its reconstruction was executed by the present Oyo State government when the Federal Government refused to do so. That is a road stretching tens of kilometres. Why can\u2019t the state government come to our rescue in this one too, a stretch that\u2019s less than 500m?\u201d<\/p>\n
