My people! Na wah o! E be like say na accident season we dey enter for Naija. Over the weekend, two serious accidents happen wey carry six lives go meet Baba God for Lagos and Kogi states.
For Ikorodu Road, two women, one na mama wey just born pikin for eight months, carry last for one kpo-kpo wey involve two commercial buses. Na so LASTMA show say this accident occur when one red Tata bus wey dey speed waka from Palmgroove to Anthony lose control. E no get any road sense again, just dey scatter everywhere!
According to LASTMA spokesperson, Adebayo Taofiq, dem talk say the Tata bus get some mechanical wahala wey cause am to jam the median barrier. Na then e carry waka come meet another Volkswagen bus wey dey carry passengers from Anthony go Palmgroove. Na that impact wey make life no good for one adult female passenger, and unfortunately, the baby wey we think say go survive also cash out later from the injuries. E be like say palliative and caution no dey for road again!
Them quickly rescue 10 victims from the scene oh, including the drivers wey dey injured. Na six people dem carry come out from the Volkswagen, while four others na from the Tata bus. Wetin be this kind matter? E be like say we no dey learn lessons for our roads again!
Then for Kogi, na the Lokoja/Ajaokuta highway dem see four people wey life just finish like that. Na where the Kogi State Sector Commander for Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Tenimu Etuku, talk say na 18-seater bus wey dey carry passenger from Enugu go Abuja be the culprit. Di matter happen around Jimgbe Community early morning of weekend.
Etuku yarn say di driver try to avoid head-on collision with one truck wey dey come, but instead, na faulty truck wey dey stationary him run enter! Na wah! He say dem rush the injured people go Kogi State Specialist Hospital for proper treatment, but those wey don check out, dem don keep their bodies for hospital morgue.
As if say dem never learn lesson before, di Sector Commander dey emphasize say make all drivers dey cautious. Him talk say weting dey happen for road no be just about free motoring. “E get big difference between free motoring environment and safe motoring environment,” na wetin he talk. So, make we all dey alert, no be to just dey dash road de go without sense!
