Fmartin:

as if they are the only paramilitary wey dey jons. scrap army, police also. dem own worse pass.

South east , south west and south south is the only place Nigeria security agents can't flex muscles at will... tell them you have been posted to Maiduguri and Yobe and see him resign voluntary... buhari is a fool

The same NSCDC that shot someone along that same New market road... Nawa ooo. Don't know why they were given guns

So oga nscdc, did that you man that was in d bus die too? Since d driver zoomed off with him in d bus.

That is how d case will dead u re going to c

Meanwhile, when contacted the spokesman of the NSCDC, Denny Manuel Iwuchukwu said no gun shot was fired on the commercial bus involved in the accident.
"No gun shot, and the bus catches fire?" you guys should stop lying. Just admit your faults.

“As our man entered the bus, he zoomed off with him. So, other officers on ground chased after him. In the process, the bus fell into the valley. We chased after the vehicle because he drove off with our man. However, not gunshot was fired”, he claimed.
"And what happened to your man they drove off with? Were he burnt?

BlackPeni5:
Nigerians and their mumu reactions. The driver shouldn't have run...its all his fault.

Worst case na to Roger them and now the lives lost can never be replaced. It's not an offence for a security outfit to chase anyone.

You r right BUT what is d duty of NSCDC?

/
They use the Milliken Hill road to bypass the bad portion of 9th Mile - Enugu axles killer.
The road is good but not for the lily-livered.

RIP to the deceased.

Enugu metropolis was tension-soaked on Thursday as news filtered into town that a fully loaded commercial bus fell into the valley at Milikin Hill, Ngwo.

The news was followed with reports thatthe driver and unspecified number of passengers were burnt to ashes.

DAILY POST gathered that the incident occurred as operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, were pursuing the driver for a yet to be identified offence.

Sources within the vicinity hinted that the NSCDC personnel, who were chasing the driver, shot at the vehicle, forcing it to slide away from the road. The commercial bus caught fire in the process, burning all the occupants.

It was gathered that only a female passenger, who was thrown off the vehicle, survived the accident. She is however, receiving treatment in an unknown hospital.

The incident gave rise to a tensed atmosphere as residents and commercial bus drivers mobilized in protest of the deaths.

Their attempt to take their protest to the NSCDC office located at the New Market Axis, few kilometres to the scene of the accident, was resisted by operatives of the corps.

They fired several shots to scare the protesters away. In the process, one of the bus drivers told journalists that the windscreen of his bus was shattered with bullets.

“We are still talking about the lives they snuffed out of several people few minutes ago and they are still baying for blood”, he said pointing at his shattered windscreen.

“Are they not supposed to be shooting in the air, or even use rubber bullets? But see what they have just done”, he said.

Our correspondent reports that the charged atmosphere was calmed as of the time of this report by the Enugug State Police Commissioner, Mohammed Dan Mallam.

The CP’s arrival saved the situation as commuters, including journalists, were all trapped as angry residents barricaded the Ngwo Road.

Speaking to journalists, the Police Commissioner described the incident as unfortunate, stressing that they would not allow anyone jeopardize the peace in Enugu State.

He said, “What happened is very unfortunate, especially with the peace we are enjoying. This kind of thing should not be allowed. That’s the reason why I am here. I have appealed to them, they should leave everything to us.

“Investigation has started, we asked them, people who witnessed what happened, they should come forward and give us discreet statement, which will help in our investigation. We are assuring them that whoever is involved is going to be brought to book.

“As far as I am concerned, these people you are seeing, they are the major stakeholders, if they are not here, I have no business being here; that’s why I left my office to come and appeal to them. The peace we are enjoying should be sustained.

“The incident that happened is unfortunate, but they should allow us to investigate; we have made some arrests; whoever is found culpable will be brought to book.”

On the female survivor, he said, “she is in our hospital, she is being treated in the hospital, life is first. I understood she is in stable condition. So, when she has fully recovered, she will tell us what she knows about the incident.”

When asked to give some clue on the possible cause of the accident, the police chief said, “the issue, what we heard is that they were pursuing the bus, I don’t know who is pursuing who, but investigation will reveal what happened. Who is pursuing who and for what reason. But we shall get to the root of the matter in order to give the public the assurance that nobody is above the law. We all know the consequences.”

Meanwhile, when contacted the spokesman of the NSCDC, Denny Manuel Iwuchukwu said no gun shot was fired on the commercial bus involved in the accident.

“We have a directive from the State Government that nobody should pick passengers along that road. So, when the driver stopped to pick passenger, our operative told him that it was wrong for him to do that.

“As our man entered the bus, he zoomed off with him. So, other officers on ground chased after him. In the process, the bus fell into the valley. We chased after the vehicle because he drove off with our man. However, not gunshot was fired”, he claimed.

Our correspondent reports that charred remains of some of the victims were taken to the Eastern Nigeria Medical Centre, Enugu, mortuary.

Silly story! This is what happens when Nairaland moderators chose their friends story to bring to front page.

*Only one person died! He was trapped under the bus when it capsized and couldn't escape.

*All the other passengers came out of the bus except a young lad trapped underneath.

* The driver commited no offense. The NSCDC has taken it upon themselves to extort commercial vehicles that stop and pick passengers on the newly renovated road (old Onitsha road) claiming to get the mandate from the governor of the state.

* The said bus driver stopped a passenger at works a normal bus stop and the NSCDC guys showed up to collect their usual 5k from defaulters. Driver resisted and ran with one of the NSCDC official hanging onto the bus and the other stopped a keke napep to chase after the bus and shot the tyres and tank.

* They both escaped by the help of their colleagues who arrived with a hillux.


This I witnessed and saw for myself.. first crime scene pic attached below.

I live in Enugu and I didn't he a this at all.

Where is the Pics of the burnt bus?

GreenMavro:
so sad, because of change wey dy wan collect dy pursue then into d valley of death, same way APC is pursue Nigeria into the valley of recession and corruption

Atymes,we are so quick to blame the security outfit but fail to blame some of those senseless drivers who always claim super human. Why did the driver run in the first place? Why did he zoom off with the nscdc personnel? If most drivers stop when being stopped by some of these security outfits, most of dese unnedsary accidents and deaths would've bn avoided.lets not always be so quick in blaming only the security outfit abeg

eTECTIVe:
Civil Defence pursuing bus driver?? Every uniformed man jus wants to intimidate motorists... Road safety, Vio, police, army, lastma and even ordinary civil defence? What is their business on d roads with commercial tranporters for God's sake??

If the driver were carrying kidnapped victims and the security turned a blind eye, u will be among two first to call dem clueless. Why should the driver run in the first place? U guys should always use ur brain.

gurunlocker:
I don't understand how our security agents think.

I only imagine what will happen with lawmakers planning to allow FRSC officials to start using gun.

It's u dat I don't understand how u think. So in ur warped mind, they should've allowed the driver to carry one of their colleague to run away abi? Na ur likes dey always shout"if it were in sane climes"when it suits u but wont say it in dis case. Can anyone American security outfit allow a driver to run away with one if it's colleagues?u people self

SirBunky85:

So d passenger he picked was d kidnap victim or d other passengers in d vehicle? Being an illiterate is one thing, stupid is a whole different case

U are the stupid one here cuz, d driver shouldn't had run in the first place. And yes, He might be a kidnapper the who picked up his partner on the road. I insist, the driver should be blamed

Maybe you are a security agent, IGNF!

You really believed no shot was fired? Are you saying that one life of the NSCDC agent that was taken is worth more than all live lost? Is there no better way to solve that instead of using live bullet considering the innocent lives in the vehicle?

Pls what beta ways? Why did the driver run in the first instance? Abeg the driver caused the avoidable deaths

Na d injustice wey Fela dey talk be dis wetin happen sef f**k them trash NSCDC #lawless_authorities

Unfortunately Enugu people no get strong mind. If this happened in Aba, boys would have brought down the entire building to ashes. Omg.... why wasn't i around. These intimidators harass drivers plying along new market to ngwo and udi. You dare not challenge them. I could remember 2013 when my driver was once booked for clearing at the corner before the entrance gate to fix the company's car that broke down.

The sister organization peace corps, is struggling to gain a stand but i pray it'd fall apart.

Fmartin:
and our useless senators want to add another useless para-military; PEACE CORPS Smh

respect your self enemy of progress, na peace corps pursue them?

Homeboiy:
buhari thank you for rejecting Peace Corps

respect your self, army,police,SARS etc has been killing Nigerians u haven't said anything before but u get mouth to talk about peace corps God go judge you

Zombies everywhere you go! Lives were lost and this is the thrash your brains could come up with? When na dullard be una leader nothing remain for una

The driver is the cause of this death and he is to be blamed. Why did he refuse to stop. I sense the driver is carrying a contraband goods or human part. RIP to the dead

RIP to the dead. The driver of the bus is an evil person, he is the root cause of these unnecessary deaths. What an arse.

Did they not tell us Peace Corps will generate for employment even when the government says it cannot pay them

This is how they all make money - by extortion

So did your man die in the accident?
Is he injured? Where is his picture on the hospital bed?
What is his name?
