U can't see such gory accident scene and still want to loot ...

I've been making my voice heard for the umpteenth time,, more of such and even worse than this will still occur since the government continue to shirk from their responsibility..
Thank God no students was involved as the students has just started their exams


This days is becoming the norm for people to witness accident scene almost every week involving trailer loaded with goods!

The road has a hilly topography when descending from ikare to Akungba which is a possible reasons while most of breaks of trucks fail,
The governor His excellency ARAKURIN OLUWAROTMI AKEREDOLU san should put measure quickly arrest this horrible occurrences, that is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
U will see trucks in convoy moving along the road
