At least three officers of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) were struck by lightning in Ogun State.

 

The incident occurred on Wednesday, June 17, in the ancient town of Ilese, near Ijebu -Ode, in Ijebu North-East local government area of Ogun State.

 

The lightning struck at about 10: am while officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) were preparing for the early morning parade within the vicinity of their office located at the old toll gate.

 

A senior member of the Corps disclosed that there were about twelve officials in the same office when the lightning struck 3 of them.

 

Men of the state’s special security outfit code-named “OP MESA” have taken over the security of the entire area, chasing onlookers away and preventing journalists from taking pictures.

 

Also, traditionalists worshipers otherwise known as Sango adherents have joined other FRSC officials at the scene of the incident in Ilese Ijebu in a bid to perform some traditional rites on the corpses before they are released to government officials for burial, the publication adds.
