Peace Mass Transit Bus Gutted by Fire After Overheating Along Enugu Road, Passengers Escape Unhurt

A Peace Mass Transit (PMT) bus was completely destroyed by fire after developing a mechanical fault along the Enugu Road axis near Thinkers Corner.
According to eyewitness accounts, the 18-seater commercial bus began emitting thick smoke while in motion, prompting concerned passengers to alert the driver.

The driver immediately pulled over by the roadside, allowing all passengers to safely disembark with their personal belongings.

Moments after everyone had evacuated the vehicle, the bus was engulfed in flames and was completely burnt beyond recognition.

Fortunately, no lives were lost and none of the passengers sustained any injuries in the incident, thanks to the driver’s swift response and the timely warning from passengers.

The cause of the fire is believed to be overheating, although the exact circumstances surrounding the incident are yet to be officially confirmed.

The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of regular vehicle maintenance and prompt action whenever signs of mechanical failure are noticed, especially in commercial transport operations.
