In his homily, Oyo Bishop Emmanuel Badejo called the victims “lucky Christians” because they died minutes after participating in a pilgrimage.
He told a sobbing audience to take solace in God and to see the disaster as a test of their faith.
Meanwhile, the driver of the 18-seater-bus boarded by the Catholic youths, Father Mathew Arimoro, also died in hospital.
He had tried to avoid a motorcyclist who suddenly crossed to his lane, before losing control of the bus. Father had been ordained a priest only on January 3.
