No fewer than 18 travellers were feared dead in a crash on the Umuahia-Enugu axis of the Port Harcourt Enugu Highway on Thursday morning.

It was gathered that the accident occurred at a police checkpoint around the Lokpanta area of Abia State in the wee hours of today.

An 18-seater commercial bus was at the checkpoint awaiting police clearance when a truck driver lost control and rammed into them killing the driver and all the passengers.

Mr Bananas Okereke, an eyewitness, told our reporter on a telephone that the bodies of victims still littered the scene at 8:20 am.

He said: “The road is blocked by protesting bus drivers and other motorists who are asking that the policemen who caused the accident be brought back to the scene.”

“Colleagues of the bus driver and other road users have taken over the road, demanding Justice for the victims. They vowed to remain there until Governor Alex Otti visits the scene.”

What a painful way to die..
That Lokpanta needs to be moved from the road, business activities on a federal highway is not good.


May the soul of the deceased rest in peace 🕊️

Dis is a tragedy


Nobody will blame otti

Many things dey happen.

Hmm

Jesus!!

Welcome to Nigeria...

Where the worst can happen..and nothing,I mean absolutely NOTHING will be done about it.
Joke of a country 💔

This is really bad.

COMRADES, this kind of shit happened to me when I was in Jos, the faulty bus failed brake and cleared three of us including the police officer
Thank God I am still alive today

Bad road or wat

Inna lillahi wa inna ilehi rajiun

Rip.

Peter Obi to drop a reaction in bit. He would somehow find a way to blame the federal government even though it's clearly stated that a truck lost control.

Rest in peace to the dead.
Such a sad loss, and probably also preventable.

Sad ..

Are you sure this isn't another form of jihad

Bitter Obi time to put on your black cloth again

Na wah

May there soul rest in peace

God have mercy , police on that road are something else , rip to the dead

The check point of a thing, why long hours check point. God!

When I said you need to stay at least 1km from a 9ja police to be safe, I was not joking.

More than 20 years ago, a truck almost killed by father at a police checkpoint. As soon as the truck hit the door my Dad's car, that's when the foolish police quickly returned with the car papers and handed them over to him.

God

It's not police fault though. It's the truck driver that is at fault. It's rare for police not to do clearance on vehicles plying dangerous routes to checkmate, crimes, banditry and drug and human trafficking.

What happens to the companies operating the vehicle after the incident? They just let it slide and say it was an accident? I don't get it.

Simple say they were killed by Nigeria police at extorting point.




The reason I will never be against those hunting them in their stealing points.

Checkpoints are doing us more harm than good.
