25 Persons Killed In Kano-Kaduna Highway Accident
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) says at least 25 persons died in an accident that occurred along the Kano-Kaduna highway on Monday.
In a statement, Olusegun Ogungbemide, the corps’ public education officer, said the accident occurred around 3:15am and involved a trailer conveying about 90 persons.
“However, FRSC emergency and rescue team was able to rescue 12 persons without injury from the crash,” the statement reads.
“The rescued victims have been taken to the Murtala Muhammad Specialist hospital in Kano for proper medical attention.”
He added that the truck driver has been arrested and handed over to the police for investigation and possible prosecution.
Shehu Mohammed, FRSC corps marshal, urged traditional and religious leaders to support the corps in the campaign against conveying humans, goods and animals together in articulated vehicles.
