Tragic in ABK!

Thursday Heavy Rain: Six People Dead As A Result of Chinese Company Negligence.

Cranium X, Abeokuta.

Thursday 5:00pm: The rain started with tiny showers before gushing out in heavy torrents. Most plans were cancelled, people took shelter in their homes. Somewhere in Adatan, a suburban area of Abeokuta, about 5 unsuspecting passenger (according to speculation by eye witnesses) journeying in a Toyota Corolla miscalculated and ran head-ons into a ditch.

How It Happened?

The driver thought it was just the usual pothole, not aware he's about to plunge into a “fish pond”. The gully was made by a Chinese construction company CCECC which was commissioned by the state government to construct motorable roads and bridges. The big mistake was that the gully was left uncovered even after the contractor went to work on another site. On getting to the site of the event this morning, our correspondent tried to find a caution sign or anything that would alert incoming traffic of the danger ahead but found none. Mistake Number Two.

The Impact?

Friday 7:00am: People woke up to the sight of a dead body at the bank of the new pond—made by rain water and a forgotten gully with a blue corolla sinking away with only the boot in sight. Approximately six lives were lost just from an avoidable oversight.

May God save us from avoidable dangers. God will not save us except we take action to avoid predictable disaster.

Everybody has a share of the blame, especially the residents for not barricading the road, at least for their own safety.

space booked for sale!

Amosun with so many abandoned projects.

Posterity will judge him

What do you expect from a Chinese company? #substandard work of course.

Quickest recovery and RIP to the dead.

the Chinese coy should be arrested for not put caution big signboard

This is bad. A man leaves home morning and fail to return home evening.

Rip b*h*r*

This is not flood nah, it's called "Season greeting"

Look at how Abeokuta is looking like an abandoned mud enclave, yet they will accuse other regions of the same.

Rip

I thought heavy flooding is only in the southeast and Southsouth according to niaraland

Negligence kills. CCECC should be held accountable

This is tragic and sheer carelessness on the part of the construction company. How do you leave such a huge hole at the center of a major road.

The families of the deceased should sue for adequate compensation and the company properly sanctioned.

Heads need to roll for stuff like this, but as na chinko pple nothing go still happen meanwhile it can't happen in china

why wouldnt the chinese act anyhow when they are in a lawless country, make this mistake in their country and face firing squad

Blame Obasanjo for this, he spent 8 years as a president still he had no single project in his home town.

Each of the dead family should sue the Chinese construction company 50 billions dollars each, for negligence.

Na wah

Na wa

Government should investigate thoroughly

Toscarel:

they did the job they were paid for. blame those collecting kickbacks not the Chinese

The Chinese contractors and government are to blame.

A proper HSEQ policy in place would have made road markings, signs and barricades a necessity for all hazards.

The government in turn should have supervisors whose task is to ensure the highest standards are deployed whilst construction goes on.

It's not enough for you to always seek estacodes for training courses abroad, then not apply them back home.

Collect bribe, drink stout, chop nkwobi with your latest catch whilst forgetting your job description.

Naija, we have a problem.

Chinese= substandard
