However, he declined to mention the names of the victims when questioned by our reporter in Minna on Saturday.
He said: "One died on Friday while another died on Saturday, two people and 48 people were evacuated from the vehicle by the team involved in the rescue operation".
He added that the corpses of the two deceased persons have been deposited at the mortuary section of the Federal Medical Center (FMC) Bida.
