 7 Dead In Jos As Truck Conveying Party Supporters Crashes

The supporters who are mostly young people, sustained injuries of varying proportions, while some regrettably lost their lives.


The governorship candidate, Barr. Caleb Mutfwang (BCM), is deeply saddened by the unfortunate event, and is currently involved in evacuating those severely injured from different hospitals in Mangu, to Jos, where they would hopefully receive better attention and care.


While we appreciate all first responders who are currently assisting with the evacuation effort, our thoughts and prayers are with all the families affected by the sad event.


May the souls of those we lost rest in peace.
