11 Jigawa Youths Die In Fatal Road Accident While Going For Nigerian Navy Screening Exam (Photos)

Eleven young men from Gagarawa Local Government Area of Jigawa State have died in a road accident while travelling to Kano for the Nigerian Navy screening examination/Aptitude test, IgbereTV reports.



The accident occurred along Jigawa-Kano road on Saturday, December 12, when their vehicle rammed into a trailer, which was parked wrongly by the road.

It was gathered that the candidates left their homes around 5:00 a.m. hoping to reach their destination on time for the exam.

The Nigerian Navy Apitude Test for the 2020 recruitment exercise was scheduled to take place in Saturday at 30 centres across the nation.

A resident, Abba Muhammad, identified the deceased persons as Auwalu Mohammed; Mutari Sule; Ibrahim Sani; Katimu Muhammad; Dauda Salisu; Musbahu Yakubu, Rabiu Muhammad-Ado; Salim Muhammad-sani; Akibu Ubali-sale; and Murtala Salisu, while another, who died in the hospital, is yet to be identified.




Muhammad, whose brother was among the victims, told news men that reckless driving and nonchalant attitude of the state’s authorities to administer punishment on reckless drivers was responsible for the reoccurring crash on the Gagarawa-Kano Highway.



Spokesperson of the Jigawa State Police Command, Audu Jinjiri, said the accident involved a commercial Golf 3 wagon, with registration number AA 320 TAR, Jigawa, which was conveying twelve passengers to Kano.



The driver, Auwalu Muhammad, 30, was driving from Gagarawa Local Government to Kano with the said passengers. On reaching ‘Abdullahi Masallaci’ rammed into stationed DAF truck, Jinjiri said.


The truck, with registration number DUT 201, Jigawa was parked by one Aminu Hassan, 25, of Mallamadori Local Government Area of Jigawa, after developing a mechanical fault.



“The truck was parked and occupied almost half of an incoming lane as a result ten persons including the driver, lost their lives on the spot, while two others are responding to treatment. One other victim later died in the hospital and all corpses (are) released to relatives for burial," he explained.



The spokesperson said the driver of the truck has been arrested and would be prosecuted soon.



Adamu Muhd Usman shared photos of ten of the victims on Facebook, describing the tragedy as sorrowful moment for the Nigeria and Jigawa state.

"Bad Day, Sad news as Jigawa lost ten youth in auto crash on their way for Navy exam (screening exercise)

Today, Saturday 12-12-2020 it is a great sorrowful and mournful moment for Nigerian youth, Jigawa state and the people of Gagarawa Local Government in particular for the passing away of ten (10) promising youths in an auto crash along Jigawa-Kano road on their way for screening exercise (employment) with the Nigerian Navy.

I am in tears and just speechless. My prayer for these departed souls is, May God Almighty forgive their shortcomings and grant them eternal rest. May He also give their parents, family and relatives etc the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss.

Rest in peace our youths."

Chai!
Sadly, that is how their own ended.

Moslem with their rush to bury someone presumed dead. I hope none is just unconscious and presumed to be dead.
Record have shown that most moslems have been buried while unconscious but presumed to be dead. It happened when I was serving in Damaturu years back.

RIP to the dead.

So bad. they died while looking for a means of survival. if Nigeria roads are good most of this accidents are avoidable. I hope it was a doctor that confirmed them dead before they were buried. rip to them

How can Golf3 carry ten passengers?


DID I READ WELL AT ALL?

Chai, I hope God comforts their families!!!
Such a sad day

What a sad news!

Damnnn niggarrrr
Too bad

May their souls rest in peace.
After all these efforts of getting a job in the Navy, it is so sad that these Navy people will only shortlist their people who didn't even go for the screening exam. When I did my exam at NA HQ 2 Division in Ibadan, we sat on the grass since 7a.m until 2pm in the afternoon until we were told that we will write the exam in the open field under the scorching sun. I developed fever yesterday because of that. I feel so sad with the way Nigeria treat her citizens because I'm sure these people died for nothing. sad!

Too bad

Exam for a job that we know has been shared....


May I not die in vain oh Lord...


Rest in peace brothers....

I wonder ooo,how will twelve people forced themselves in a small gulf three car and expect the driver to drive normal?

Traveling by road in this country takes a lot of courage

They had bright future. They wud ve all gotten the job bc its Buhari government.
May their soul rest in peace.

RIP to the dead. Unfortunately, we are our own problem using Golf 3 to convey 12 passengers and on top speed too o.. Haba

Spokesperson of the Jigawa State Police Command, Audu Jinjiri, said the accident involved a commercial Golf 3 wagon, with registration number AA 320 TAR, Jigawa, which was conveying twelve passengers to Kano.

This is pure wickedness and corruption at its peak.

Once again, RIP to the dead.

Heavy overload, may be four or five passenger are occupying the front seat and they expect the driver to drive well.

Promising Youths wasted again.... RIP

Golf's accident is automatically a "DELETE ALL"

How does a Golf 3 wagon carry 12 people?

Anyway, in the north, it is possible.. they even load people in the trunk.

Needless death

I don’t understand this. It’s the innocent owner of a stalled truck that’s been prosecuted instead of the numptie that packed 12 passengers inside a 5 passenger vehicle.

How can you miss a DAF truck in your lane and not stop in time?

Everything in this country is backwards.

RIP to the death. Sorry for the lost. But please ooo, is Nigeria selling separate navy form or this ones are old schedule training? I want to know because the training was not official.
