Too bad


But how could golf carry so many persons like that...?

Or are my the one missing it? "They discovered that an unregistered Golf Wagon car from Kano, heading to Katsina, plunged into Fada dam. Twelve unidentified persons were rescued on the spot," Nine died on the spot, was the car conveying 12 persons to Katsina?


Overloading reduces chances of survival in cases like this.
When i served in the north, dem deh carry passengers for booth with the boot still closed!

1 driver and 2 passengers in front
4 women and 2 babies at the back seat
3 men in the boot, stacked alongside luggage.

If you have lived or visited the north, you would understand this formation
That's more reason diseases are highly contagious faster in the north.

Correct.
I remember years ago in Kano when one driver opened boot for me to enter shocked God forbid. I was shocked to find out it's a regular thing.
Sometimes they'll even carry 4 in front. One passenger seats with the driver and another 2 in the front seat.

Funny enough, there're checkpoints on the road, but overloading is seen as a norm. Even the normal buses within Kano used to have passengers sit on the bus engines.

You remind me of my time in Sokoto

The concept of personal space doesn't apply there. Them like gumbody too and can hardly ever keep quiet.

Were they on excursion?

Unregistered vehicle conveying passengers?

How did they drive so close to the dam to the extent of plunging into it?

Could it have been a case of kidnapping gone wrong?

NPF don’t have what it takes to unravel this except by issuing statements.

RIP to the dead

All your points are valid.

I also want to add, 12 people in a VW GOLF?!?!?!

WTF!!!!

1. I think the car is new henche the reason why it is not registered (Nigerians and lawlessness)

2. The dam is so close to the main road, safety iron bars were old and rusty.

3. They are multiples potholes around that axis, probably a case of burst tyres perhaps.

4. Lack of Emergency rescue

The dam is by the roadside. You use a bridge over the dam to pass through. I know because I serve my NYSC in Gwarzo in 2006.
