The six reverend sisters were in a Toyota Sienna car from Ogoja local government area to Biase local government, when the unfortunate incident occurred, it was learnt.
The vehicle was driven by one of the Sisters.
An eyewitness said the accident occurred when a truck carrying soft drinks lost control and veered into their lane causing a head on collision.

May the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen
