Nigeria Professional football league side, Kwara United early Wednesday had a motor accident on their return journey home after featuring in the Nigeria National League Super 4 in Lagos. The accident put to question whether the opening fixture of the club in the Premier League will hold on Sunday with visiting Niger Tornadoes.
According to a statement by the club’s Media Officer, Abdul Waheed Bibire, the accident occurred along Ojo Road on the Ibadan – Ilorin axis as the team bus ran into a parked articulated vehicle in an attempt to dodge an on-coming over speeding vehicle from the other end of the road.
Three out of the people onboard sustained various degrees of injuries and have since been taken to a hospital for medical attention.
The media officer disclosed that the club chairman, Prince Oladimeji Ladi Thompson expressed gratitude that no life was lost in the accident.
