Several players including goalkeeper Daniel Atsaka and striker Musa Najare posted short video clips showing as the team bus caught fire apparently with nobody inside.
“How God did it, I don’t know. I lost a few valuables but most importantly my life n those of my teammates was preserved by God. We’re now home n safe,” tweeted Atsaka.
The Nigeria Premier League club were on their way back from Ilorin, where they pipped home team Kwara United 1-0 to keep up pressure on leaders Plateau United.
They are third on the table with 39 points from 22 matches.
