Many feared D3ad while the truck loses the brake in Abuja – Blueprint Newspapers Limited

According to reports, a truck has undergone a bankruptcy of the brakes and crashed in several popularly known tricycles such as Keke and some vehicles, leaving several dead people and other wounded deaths in Duta, in the Bwari area Council of Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Eyewitness told the Blueprint reporter that he visited the scene on Saturday evening that the impact of the accident was devastating since some of the victims were so bad that the bystanders had to collect the remains before the bodies were covered.

The truck that caused the fatal accident was sighted supported by him, stuck between a drainage in front of the Shafa refueling station.

Army, Police Agents Federal Road Safety Corps (Frsc) were seen in an attempt to control traffic, which extended from the intersection for the Lipper garage to Sokale Roundabout on the one hand and from the intersection for the garage for the tip in Ushafa on the other side.

The inverted truck remained on the site, attracting a large crowd of spectators and sympathizers, despite the attempt of the security agents to control the situation.

Speaking with Blueprint Reporter, residing in Dutse-Bmuko, Jackson Malaki, said that the frequent accidents could be attributed to inattention and abandonment by the government residents and officials.

He said: “Almost every two months, sometimes weekly, a heavy truck that transmits sands or gravel will fail the brake and people will die. We will make crying and we’ll go up and we will quickly go on until the next occur again.

“The government is so irresponsible and docile citizens. An accident at that point of this evening claimed dozens of lives, by tomorrow, those who have escaped death will go on as if it were business as usual.

“The government will not even make a visit to condolences since the victims are most poor. If the accident had taken place in Maitama, Asakoro, Villa, Guzape or Central Area, it could be the government that will do something in this regard. They can the souls of the deceased rest in peace.”

For his part, Aaron James Ikwuoche said that the government should take the necessary precautions to avoid future accidents.

He said: “There is an evil spirit in that garage for the tip, which must be thrown away. An accident will not happen before or after the same point, but always at that point.

“The corpses I counted at a glance yesterday were 5 because I could not resist shock. I had to immediately leave the scene with tears in the eyes. There are even more dead bodies trapped under the tip and Keke.

“The solutions to that problem are: the government should build bumps from Usman Dam Hill to the traffic light. There should be no bus stop in that garage for the tip, nobody should stop or wait for any vehicle or anyone at that point. No limelight or trailer should make the road during the day of 6:00 to 20:00.

“Barricade the road and builds a pedestrian bridge inside the police police and Dutse Baupma. Evacuates all the traders along the edge of the road with immediate alacrity. Create a bus, a terminal Keke and Okada for commuters. The government should be the vehicles of the firefighting service, ambulances, ambulances, towing vehicles and quite the police and traffic guardian in that garage. Anime that died in that peace where they died in passive passive! “

Often, road accidents are witnessed by Tipper Garage, an intersection that separates Bmuko and Baupma, both in Dutse.

Every year, accidents are recorded at the intersection, despite the installation of traffic lights, due to human and vehicular movements.
