Some passengers were killed instantly after a reckless lorry driver knocked off a barrier while trying to access a bridge in Kaduna state. The knocked off barrier dropped and destroyed the blue vehicle with its occupants, which was passing beneath the bridge. Six people were confirmed dead at the scene including a woman who was on her way to sit for exam. One person critically ill was taken to hospital.

Read the report as shared by ‎Idris Ahmed‎ on Facebook;

HOW CORRUPTION AND RECKLESSNESS KILLED THEM!

This ghastly accident happened on Monday,18/9/2017, at the flyover bridge in Kawo Kaduna. Ms Rabi Adam (in yellow dress lying dead on the road and in passport size photograph), was a student of the National Open University. She was on her way to sit for exam at Rigachukun, when she lost her life.

The yellow stripped barrier pole shown in the attached pictures was erected by Kaduna state government to stop lorries and heavy goods vehicles plying over the flyover bridge at Kawo. One reckless lorry driver decided to ignore traffic warning sign and attempted to access the bridge, thereby knocking the barrier off. It then dropped and destroyed the blue vehicle with its occupants, which was passing beneath the bridge. Six people confirmed dead at the scene. One person critically ill was taken to hospital.

Meanwhile, because of the delay in arrival of police and emergency services at the scene, thieves stole the wallet and mobile phone of late Ms Rabi Adam. They had the audacity to use the stolen phone to call her parents and tell them that their daughter had died in a ghastly accident.

CUPS investigator, who spoke with Ms Rabi's colleague, learnt that this is the third time that the same type of incidence happened at the same spot, taking innocent lives. The root cause of the problem is the bad engineering of the barrier pole. The money allocated to erect a foolproof barrier has been siphoned off. This makeshift barrier pole is poorly soldered. It is not fit for purpose. Each time it is hit by reckless drivers, the poor soldering gives way. The barrier pole then drops and causes fatalities.

Unless somebody in charge of roads at Kaduna state looks into this disgraceful and criminal negligence, our people will keep losing their lives at the Kawo flyover bridge. May the souls of the deceased rest in peace. Amen.

You'll never see gory pictures of accident or bomb blast victims being circulated by news media in countries that respect the worth of life. This is really very bad. All Pretty Crystal, CastedDude and Changeisconstant offer Nairaland are pictures of dead accident victims of a man and his wife, "a pretty girl and her parents", "a new bride and her husband", someone crushed by a trailer This is so bad! There are other better threads to grace Nairaland FP than these pictures of dead people. If they were your family member, would you bring these pics online for the whole world to see? Pls this is not how to make money on your blog. How many people even visit your blog after reading the story here already?

This is not my first time of writing against this and this may not be the last time.

Error is bound to happen but my question is. When it happens who manages it. Not a single emergency management agency in the state. If something like these were to happen broad u see paramedics with ambulance on scene,police.FRSC,fire,fighters every were but here in africa our leaders are nt even aware of what to do but rather loot funds.... May God open the eyes of our leaders.

It's a strange thing indeed.

Innocuous English words like 'brea.st' are censored here on Nairaland but the site is now well known for gleefully showcasing gory and graphic pictures.

Why?

The criminal who call himself governor of Kaduna is doing nothing in kaduna except to embezzle public fund. He is the worst governor kaduna has ever produced.
