An accident involving a Golf car and children
returning from a farm at Kwarin Kwanta along Buni
Gari-Bara Road in Gujba local government area of
Yobe State has claimed nine victims, who included
four children.
An eyewitness Mallam Abdullahi said the accident
occurred yesterday evening when the car carrying
passengers from Damaturu to Gulani rammed into
the children who were waiting for a vehicle to
convey them to their homes.
Abdullahi said the car crashed into the children
when it attempted to avoid potholes.
He said, “When the car hit the boys, four died
instantly while five of the passengers including the
driver died on the spot.
“Eleven others who suffered various degrees of
injuries were taken to the Specialists’ Hospital,
Buni-Yadi while others were referred to Specialists’
Hospital, Damaturu for treatment.
“The head teacher of the children Alaramma Bukar
(BK) of Anguwar Danfulata of Buni-Gari who was
not with them when the incident occurred has also
been hospitalised. We are disturbed because the
number of deaths among the injured children could
rise,” he said.
