The coaster bus in which the women were travelling bore the inscription of “Women For Change Initiative”, a pseudo-political NGO promoted by First Lady, Patience Jonathan.
It was learnt that the accident which happened at the Ahoada axis of East-West road in Rivers state occurred when the tyre of an oncoming Toyota Sienna van exploded and rammed into the bus carrying the women, a situation that led to the bus going up in flames.
