Tears flowed freely, on
Friday, when a family of four
popularly called ‘the Bellos’,
was involved in an auto
crash which claimed their
lives on the spot.
The tragedy involved one
Alhaji Bello, his daughter in-
law and her parents. One of
Bello’s tenants was also a
victim. The crash occurred at
Agbowa-Ikosi area of Lagos
State around 12noon.
According to eye witnesses,
the family was travelling in
two cars: Alhaji Bello and the
victims in one; the widow
and their five-month old
grandson in the other. They
left their Bayeku, Ikorodu
residence for the graduation
of their daughter at Federal
Polytechnic, Ilaro, Ogun State,
and decided to bye-pass
Sagamu Road for Agbowa
due to the bad condition of
the road.
An eye witness, Madam
Kehinde Olufade, said the
family had had a smooth
journey until they got to a
crater at Ikosi where
motorists had to maintain a
slow speed. Due to the
dilapidated nature of the
road, a trailer, according to
the eye witness, was facing
the car driven by Alhaji Bello
which he tried to avoid not
knowing that a tipper
behind him was also trying
to overtake him. The Bellos
car was said to have landed
in a ditch. ‘’As soon as the car
entered the ditch, the tipper
also lost control and fell into
the ditch, killing the victims
instantly,”the eye witness
said.
Alhaji Bello was said to be
planning a trip abroad with
his wife which prompted her
to apply for a change of
name in Vanguard
newspaper of Friday. They
were yet to buy a copy of the
paper when the tragedy took
place.
