Tony Okafor Trailer laden with cows kills eight Anambra children hawking at traffic junction A trailer on Friday rammed into hawkers at Kwata junction, Awka, Anambra State and reportedly killed right children. A source said "Eight children hawking at the traffic point at Kwata junction flyover were killed by a lorry carrying cows." The source said youths in the area quickly mobilised and set the lorry, including the cows ablaze. "The accident happened when a truck which was conveying cattle to an unknown location lost brake while descending the Kwata junction slope, knocking down eight hawkers and injuring four occupants of two Sport Utility Vehicles. As of the time of filing this report, the youths refused attempt by the Anambra State Fire Service to put off the fire on the truck. The multiple accident caused gridlock in many parts in Awka for hours. There was shooting in the area by military personnel to disperse the youths who stopped attempts to tow the truck off the road to make way for free flow of traffic. The shooting caused residents and even motorists to abandon their vehicles on the road and scampered for safety. When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Ikenga Tochukwu confirmed the incident but could not confirm casualty figures. He said,"I'm still awaiting full situation report."
