Barely 24 hours after a road accident along Dass – Tafawa Balewa road claimed 8 lives, another ghastly accident in Zalanga village of Ganjuwa LGA along Bauchi – Maiduguri highway has claimed 5 lives instantly.
The accident according to a resident of the village, Adamu Musa occured in the evening of Sunday when a Sharon commercial bus rammed into a trailer conveying charcoal from the bus in the area.
The resident told our Correspondent that the Sharon commercial bus was conveying traders from Darazo who had traveled to Alkaleri for market and were returning home.
He told our Correspondent that the trailer driver just got on to the road unexpectedly without caution of other road users when the Sharon mini bus rammed into it at the middle.
Adamu Musa added that, “there were 10 passengers in the Sharon mini bus out of which 5 people died instantly while others were seriously injured and taken to the Darazo General hospital for treatment”.
He said that, “we have been complaining about the activities of these charcoal dealers, they don’t have regards for other road users because their vehicles are trailers and bigger than others. We have lost many people through such accidents. We are calling on the concerned authorities to come to our rescue “.
It will be recalled that the Sector Commander of the State FRSC, Yusuf Abdullahi has declared that the devil has taken over Bauchi roads killing people through accidents calling on the people to engage in spiritual intervention.
