It was learnt that the incident occurred on Wednesday about 12.10pm on Goodnews Street, Azikoro Village area of the state capital.

Eta was said to be running an errand for his mother when he met the horrible death.

The deceased, who lived in the area, was reportedly trying to cross the road to deliver a pack of nylon bags to a fish seller across the road when he met his untimely death.

An eyewitness, who identified himself only as James, said the victim on crossing the road was unaware of an approaching speeding truck, which he tried to dodge but was eventually knocked down by the front tyres.

The eyewitness, a commercial tricyclist, described the sudden death of the boy as horrific.

James said, “I just dropped a passenger and made a u-turn to the side of the road where the boy was standing.

“I sighted the truck but immediately I stopped beside the boy, I saw him trying to cross the road but it was too late because the truck was already close to him.
