Brake failure by a commercial bus at Uselu, Benin, the Edo State capital, has led to the death of four persons.

It was gathered yesterday that two of the victims were personnel of the Nigerian Army, who were at the nearby Supply and Transport (S&T) Barracks, for a course, but rammed into by the bus, while crossing the ever-busy and dualised road.
