I was at the scene of the accident yesterday around 5:30pm. After Itobe. It all started when a Camry driver on top speed overtook a car and his tyre burst , he lost control and rammed into an incoming 18 seater bus. Both vehicle caught fire. The Camry driver lost his life immediately. The bus was fully loaded with hausas from Bauchi according to one of the survivors. About six survivors was lying down helplessly as effort to reach road safety proved abortive. It was a horrible experience as we watched people burning live. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

I was there at about 5:30pm. A Camry driver on top speed got rammed into an incoming 18 seater bus fully loaded with passengers from Bauchi. Both vehicles caught fire as the Camry driver died instantly. It was a horrible scene as we watched people burning in flames mercilessly. All efforts to reach road safety staff proved abortive as the survivors lied down in pain without hope of getting help. The tyre of the Camry driver bursted as he overtook a car on top speed making him to lose control and rammed into an incoming bus. |

RIP to the departed soul. But on a serious note,drivers needs more education about the dangers of night driving (expecially in a country like ours where emergency response is non-existing). Also the issue of overspending and not abiding to the rules and regulations laid out for safe driving is another major cause of this kind of deadly accidents. Many of our commercial drivers and private alike depends on intoxicants (paraga,alomo,weed etc) to stimulate them before embarking on journeys. Furthermore,stress also plays a major part in such fatal accident,these drivers are ready to go for as many as possible trips in a day without rest,reason why they dose off while driving. Solution is if you notice the driver of the vehicle you are in is dozing off,smells of alcohol,unruly or drives dangerously,please and please go down from such vehicle to avoid story that touch. 2 Likes |

BishopMagic:When are you going to stop from being A daft? Must you present yourself as a freaking jerk in an incidence that took place which claimed the lives of many? From where did you get your statistics before rating Kogi state the worst state in Nigeria? Saying there is noting good that will ever come from Kogi state, what good has ever come from Nigeria as a whole? It's obvious that Kogi state has been making headlines for crazy stuff, but that doesn't it mean your state is in any exceptions. The earlier you know that Nigeria as whole is messed up, the better you will understand the fact your state is not in anyway better. Well, you might say this guy is "pained" if that is what you think, you are right, but I'm not "pained" because it's my state, I'm "pained" because you're gullible. You passed through education, but education never passed through, that's one the problems we are still dinning with in this country. Young boy, get yourself busy with something meaningful, or you can take the bicycle I parked under the tree and start having fun with it. Please in case this doesn't go down well with you, you can hug any nearby transformer. |

It was God that save us on this same road around February, on our way to Ankpa.The Fulani millitia dug a big part of the road and our vehicle ran into it,we almost lost our lives We had to call Lagos and they called Ajaokuta police on our behalf that was how were rescued.The incident happened around 10:30pm and we slept at Ajaokuta Police Barracks, where we're told that so many people have been kidnapped around that area and ransome were paid to effect their release 1 Like |
