Adekanye disclosed that the buses with registration numbers LEM 963 XA and NSR 222 ZS were coming from Lagos and Nasarawa states respectively.
The FRSC official said the buses went on flame immediately resulting to the burning of the occupants.
He attributed the cause of the accident to speeding and over loading.
Adekanye urged motorists to always shun night travelling, speeding, and over loading, adding that the fatality would have reduced if the drivers were not on a night journey.
