Seven Journalists Killed In Gombe Auto Crash by SlavaUkraini(op): 2:22am On Dec 30, 2025
At least seven journalists have died, while four others sustained injuries in a single fatal road accident involving a Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ bus in Gombe State.

The incident reportedly occurred on Monday evening as the journalists were returning from a wedding ceremony in Gombe South senatorial district.

The victims were part of a delegation that had travelled to honour a colleague, an employee of the Nigerian Television Authority, who was getting married.

Confirming the incident, the Gombe State Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps l, Samson Kaura, said, “From the information available to us, 11 people were involved in the crash. Sadly, seven of them died on the spot, while four others sustained varying degrees of injuries.”

According to him, preliminary findings indicate that the accident was a lone crash, likely caused by a tyre burst.

A sharp pothole might have led to the tyre burst..Even brand new tyres burst when they hit some dangerous potholes on our roads

And it's the Government's duty to fix the roads to avoid such ...

Unless na you burst the tyre or you know exactly what did, government negligence can't be ruled out ...

Typical Nigerian scatter-brained response

Is it God's duty to fix road potholes that can burst tyres?

Yes, Nigeria government made the people too poor to afford new tires.

Yes, Nigeria government made the roads so bad that tires can burst at anytime after entering potholes.

Yes, Nigeria government is responsible for AJ's accident. The blood of AJ and his dead colleagues is on the neck and hands of every politician, civil servant and praise singer that helped keep that road terrible.
