Two people yesterday sustained injuries in an auto crash which involved the convoy of the acting Governor of Taraba State Alhaji Garba Umar and that of the Emir of Bauchi Alhj/Dr. Eng. Rilwanu Suleimanu Adamu.


Bauchi State Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Mr Sunday Henry Olatunji confirmed the incident, saying the accident involved 16 people. He said out of the number, two people sustained injuries, but no death was recorded.


Mr Olatunji attributed the cause of the accident to over speeding and wrong overtaking, and cautioned motorists to obey traffic rules.

Daily Trust correspondent gathered that the accident occurred along Gombe road, about 25 kilometers from Shafuri village in Bauchi State.

A witness said the acting Governor of Taraba State Garba Umar was on his way to pay a condolence visit to Governor Isa Yuguda, who lost his younger sister last week, while the Emir of Bauchi’s convoy were on their way to the Gombe International Airport when the incident occurred.

He said one of the vehicles escorting the Taraba acting governor attempted to overtake a vehicle in front of it and in the process collided with one of the cars on the emir’s convoy.
