LAGOS, Dec. 31 (Xinhua) -- At least 20 people died in two road accidents in Nigeria's northwest Jigawa and southwest Ogun states, officials said Sunday.

Abdu Jinjiri, Jigawa's police spokesperson told reporters in Dutse, the state capital, that 15 people, including two children, died in an accident involving a Sharon bus and a truck along Gujungu-Gumel road in Kaugama area of the state Saturday evening.

"A seven passengers-capacity vehicle overloaded with 14 passengers rammed into a truck coming from the opposite direction on Gujungu-Gumel road," he said.

In southwest Ogun state, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) said five people died and 13 others injured in an accident on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway on Sunday.

Clement Oladele, Ogun Sector Commander of FRSC, said two vehicles and 18 people were involved in the accident.

Road accidents take place frequently in Nigeria due to reckless driving, bad road conditions and overloading. More than 1,000 people are killed on the road each year in the country.
