There
was pandemonium at the Ox Bow Lake Road junction, Yenagoa in Bayelsa
State, after a bus went up in flames in a traffic jam on Wednesday.
Our correspondent who was at the scene
of the incident observed that the thick ball of flame that emanated from
the Mitsubishi L300 bus forced motorists to flee the area.
The scene immediately attracted onlookers and sympathisers, who initially mistook the vehicle for a passenger bus.
But two persons, a driver and a passenger, struggled out of the bus unhurt.
They were, however, concerned about the bus and its content.
The apprehensive young men remained speechless for sometimes.
The driver, who was obviously confused, shed tears as he asked his colleague that he identified as Uche to call their boss.
