At last the bus has been pulled out of the river. 
The Federal Road Safety Commission today said it had pulled out a passenger bus that plunged into a river at Ogbere-Ijebu, Ogun State on the Sagamu-Ore Expressway on Friday.

A pregnant woman and two other passengers miraculously survived the accident, which was said to have occurred when the bus skidded off the dual carriageway and plunged into the river.
The pregnant woman and the two other survivors were said to have reached out for and clung to the branches of a tree as the bus lost control and began its fatal plunge into the river.
An FRSC statement said 12 corpses, comprising one male and 11 female, were pulled out of the bus.
“According to our findings, 21 people were inside the bus, the three that survived have been taken to hospital.
“FRSC’s coordinated search for the remaining victims with local divers continues,” it said.
