 TRAGEDY IN YENAGOA AS FAMILY CAR CRASHES INTO ABANDONED CEMENT TRUCK 17th December, 2025   A serious road accident shook Yenagoa in the early hours of Wednesday after a vehicle carrying a pastor, his wife, and their children rammed into a broken-down Dangote cement truck at the Club Bara area of Bayelsa State. The truck, heavily loaded with cement, was reportedly left stranded almost at the centre of the road for more than four days, allegedly without reflective signs, warning triangles, or other safety indicators to alert oncoming motorists. The family’s vehicle crashed into the stationary truck along the busy Club Bara stretch, triggering panic and drawing the attention of nearby residents. The injured occupants were immediately rushed to a hospital for urgent medical care. As at the time of filing this report, authorities have not confirmed any fatalities. Investigations into the circumstances surrounding the accident are ongoing. More photos below.

A Ph.D student from the Faculty of Engineering, University of Benin (UNIBEN), Engr. Igbinosa Eghosa has produced and showcased a one-ton utility truck. 

The vehicle developed by Engr. Eghosa of the Department of Production Engineering was supervised by Professor Akaehomen Ibhadode, who also led the team to present the wonder on wheels to the University’s Management. 

Speaking during the brief ceremony, the project developer opined that the light-weight truck will re-shape and power the growth of the nation’s transport and agriculture industries. 

He added that with adequate funding, the vehicle could be produced in large quantity as the design was capable of addressing transportation needs even in local communities.

On his part, the project supervisor pointed out that over 80 percent of the materials used for the production of the truck, which runs at a maximum speed of 75klm per hour, was sourced locally. 

He said the motivation behind the project was to encourage and promote the production of low-cost vehicles with very high local content including materials and labour, in Nigeria. 

Elated, the Vice Chancellor, Professor Lilian Salami, praised the team for promoting local production through their cutting-edge innovations. 

She expressed the University’s readiness to partner with the Faculty in the production of some units of the vehicle for the Institution’s use.
