“Two others were rushed to Gwarinpa hospital and I heard they were wheeled straight to the theatre, the boy that died is a friend from one of the guy they rushed to the hospital, the driver said he followed them home from school and they are trying to reach his parents now,” The man who identified himself as Musa narrated their ordeal.

All efforts to get the Federal road safety corps (FRSC) members present at the scene to speak proved abortive as none of them was ready to speak to the press.

The accident caused a gridlock on the busy motorway as motorist parked their cars to catch a glimpse of the unfortunate incident. The Federal road safety corps (FRSC) members made all efforts to open the road.
