The players and officials of Sunshine Stars FC of Akure were on Friday involved in a ghastly road accident along Ijebu Ode - Ore express way.
Five players and four officials were reported to have sustained various degrees of injuries and have been hospitalised.
The team were returning from Ijebu Ode in Ogun state to Akure in Ondo state where they had camped in preparation for the 2014 Nigeria Professional Football ( NPF ) premier league season.
According to eye witness report, the team's 32 seater coaster bus rammed into an articulated Range Rover jeep on the border town between Ogun and Ondo states of Nigeria.
Several occupants of the bus were said to have sustained minor injuries except five players of the club who sustained serious injuries and have been hospitalised.
The accident was as a result of the road maintenance work on one side of the road, forcing vehicles to use the other road of the dual carriageway.
