Three people in a car were burnt beyond recognition in the early hours of today, Thursday, at Garrison Roundabout, Port Harcourt -Aba Expressway, Port Harcourt, the Rivers capital after hitting the concrete slabs of the controversial roundabout.

The roundabout is controvesial because of the criticisms that attended its creation. Motorists and concerned road users in the state capital had criticised the construction of the roundabout as an engineering misnormer, arguing that what the ever busy junction needs is a flyover or a boulevard as is seen in other states. The penchant of Governor Nyesom Wike to contruct roundabouts to deconject traffic has earned him the title, “Mr. Roundabout”.

However, it was opened to traffic about the first week of December last year.

It was not clear when the accident happened but out reporter observed that there were still flickers of fire and smoke when he visited the scene at about 6.30 am today.

Scores of Policemen and officers of the Federal Road Safety.Corps,FRSC,were already at the scene of the charred vehicle, while a corpse of unidentified person burnt beyond recognition were lying beside the vehicle.

Three Police trooper vehicles and two FRSC men were already at accident scene to ensure free flow of traffic at the time of filing the rereport.

Lemme see the roundabout pinsure before I can comment further

Is the roundabout invisible?

Police officers in their van were chasing a bus carrying a load of bunkered kerosene while the driver of that bus lost control which led to the accident. The police officers r ran away while the victims burnt to death

this madt people again?

But seriously the roundness of the roundabout ....the useless space is 10 times the space apportioned to be used as road..

I just taya for this country

APC always playing politics wherever they are in opposition. Always trying to benefit from blood and misfortune. Wake is now the driver of the car, right?
That is how their boss then was directly campaigning for Boko Haram then.

Boko Haram should be given amnesty like Niger delta militants.

Fight against Boko Haram is fight against the North.

Boko Haram should be dialogue with instead of using force on them.
All of the above were what their presidential candidate said then and he never openly condemned them then because he liked what they were doing.

That newly constructed roundabout at Garrison is a deathtrap , especially for night drivers. How can you build a roundabout with out expanding tge road appropriately in a high speed highway?

Just imagine... "Governor wike's roundabout"... so the roundabout killed them?

op I almost asked if the roundabout has gas around it with fire lighter to have burnt the car. sorry Op o ti ya wayray.

was it the roundabout that was driving the vehicle ? or a careless driver that was over speeding, we should be very careful what we wish for, when the first post came it stated "3 burnt to death in car accident in Rivers state" now it Wike's roundabout that is killing them, what is wrong in having a roundabout there, dont you have one at rumuokoro, rumukuta, maybe when the next gov comes in he can decide to put a fly over there. APC Allow this man rule in peace wait for your turn, all this will not help you guy, your people at the center or Federal Govt. are not performing well, fulani heradsmen and boko haram are taking lives on a daily basis, I do not see raise a post to that effect but you are so fast to do that for the ones in Rivers state

N20bn Fraud: EFCC detains macmillan boss

But the detention of the contractor was considered a breakthrough for the commission after failure to provide evidence of contract earlier.
