A man has revealed that he survived a fatal accident which occurred yesterday, Dec. 23, in Imo state and he blamed the police and the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) for the accident, Igbere TV reports.

He said a 40ft truck lost control and rammed into at least 10 cars that were at a checkpoint along NgorOkpala/Owerrinta road.

"People died, some got injured. I only had a dent in my car," he wrote as he shared photos of survivors looking shaken at the accident scene.

He blamed the police and the FRSC for mounting a road block along a road so narrow, despite knowing there's a bend ahead.

"Your officers were busy collecting bribes from motorists and thereby endangering lives," he wrote.

“How i flew from Lagos down to the East only to survive a near death experience along NgorOkpala/Owerrinta road today is what i can’t even explain. God is a merciful God. A 40ft truck driver lost control of his brakes & rammed about 10 cars at a police checkpoint. I survived it.

“I can’t post videos because I’m still having PTSD of what happened today. A family of 6 in that Toyota Corolla survived this ghastly accident. Right in my very before eyes, this truck cleared more than 10 cars. People died, some got injured. I only had a dent in my car.

“@FRSCNigeria @PoliceNG your officers caused this accident. How can you have a road block on a narrow road knowing fully well there’s a bend ahead. Your officers were busy collecting bribes from motorists and thereby endangering lives. What happened today was a nightmare.”

Another user, who also claimed that she and her family were also in the accident wrote;

“My elder sister, her son, my twin girl a relative and driver were in the grey corolla, while me, my husband, my first daughter and twin boy were in the spider. We're still in shock but Super grateful to GOD. We all came out unhurt.”

that's what we see in the Eastern States.. Just like Oraifite, the police officers there are busy creating unnecessary stress to the road users, all they do is to collect money from motorist....

May his name be praised.

Fuvck the police. Wish the cops were ambushed instead.

Speedy recovery to the injured and rip to the dead

Miracle...
It takes a second to pass into the other side..

We praise the Lord for your life
We blamed the Lord for the dead

Guess the grace is in short supply and insufficiently insufficient

God u are wonderful, thank God u are alive.

Chai...nawa oo life is a risk u neva know what would happen next.

Most truck drivers are heartless abeg. Forget that tin. Every accident by them will be the fault of security operatives.. Hold the truck driver well o. Na him go pay.

Blame the failed endSARS protest/movement that has failed to reform how the police and other law enforcement services operate.
The legacy of the civil war which ended in 1971 is the notorious 'checkpoint' that has proved totally ineffectual in combating crime yet has remained a security staple costing citizens millions in extortion rackets and countless lives. Yet the citizens have not found it worthy to demand for 'another' way to enforce the law and secure the country from crime.

It is a testament to the lack of progress in our nationhood that we still grapple with a security system that is only deployed in war torn countries.
What is it about the 'checkpoint' that makes it imperative.
Is there no other way to secure Nigeria.?

I don't understand why you are blaming the officers for doing their job. You will still be the one to blame if security personnel are not on the road.

You said when approaching the bend, that means the vehicle must stop before getting to the bend. It may be a brake failure which is always a major problem with articulated vehicle. Pls stop the blame game and praise God for his mercy.

just look at what #20 bribe has made a season meant to be joyful a sorrowful one..
Lives lost,properties destroyed while a homo sapien on a dirty black cloth smiles home with ill gotten money...
for those yet to travel for the christmas celebration may they never expirence something like this .AMEN.
including black devils

To those who survived the terrible accident thanks to God for sparing their lives to those who lost their love ones may God be their comforter in this sorrowful moment. Life is indeed cruel

Policemen and FRSC officials mount roadblocks in the SE mainly to extort motorists. And to achieve this ,they create unwarranted traffic gridlocks which lead to this accident. It's not about securing lives and properties...you probably don't live the in the SE.

Thank God for your life.
Our God is a very present help in the time of trouble.
