I was on a bike directly behind this tipper on my way to Kuje road along the bridge. It was moving at a very slow speed, maximum of 30km/h. My bike wanted to overtake but I cautioned the rider that we’re on a bridge and he should thread carefully.
Suddenly, the tipper swerved off the road and I thought the driver would just redirect the vehicle to the road. Sadly he didn’t. I watched the tipper hit the barricade and plunge into the river. I wish I had supernatural powers and could pull it back. But I no get. Next thing I heard was the thudding sound of the tipper at the base of the river. My bike man was confused and almost lost control. God saved us and he was able to drive us safely to the end of the bridge.
I saw four men exit the tipper as it was not submerged completely. The first two men were drifted away by the tide of the river but the last two were able to hold on to the vehicle and climb to the top of the tipper. The two drifting men were waving for help that never came. Nobody was able to swim to rescue them. In less than a minute, the two men gradually drowned in the river while waving for succor. It was heart wrenching to say the least. Everything happened in less than 100 seconds.
On my way back two hours later, I saw the tipper being towed out and asked of the two guys that were submerged, nobody saw them.
Saddest thing I’ve ever witnessed in years.

ever since last Saturday rainfall which caused flooding around dat gwags and giri area, Gwagwalada has never been the same again, me sef I'm even afraid to board a vehicle to that place. may God protect us oo Amin!

My dear, we wey dey the Gwagwalada never die now. It was rumoured that every year, the river takes some lives. Much as I don’t want to subscribe to this superstition, it has proven true for the past fifteen years that I’ve been here.

GAZZUZZ:
