A truck carrying sand collided with a tricycle, resulting in the deaths of six individuals on the Yola – Girei federal highway in Adamawa. The Adamawa Police Command's spokesman, SP Sulaiman Nguroje, confirmed the tragic incident to NAN on Friday. The crash involved the truck and the tricycle, commonly referred to as Keke NAPEP.
The victims included the Keke NAPEP driver and five passengers, who were rushed to Yola Specialist Hospital, where their deaths were confirmed. The tricycle driver and the five passengers were killed instantly in the accident. Nguroje appealed to the public to remain calm and emphasized that anyone found to have violated the law would face the full force of the law.
Angry Keke NAPEP riders blocked the highway in protest, causing disruptions to traffic flow along the busy road. This incident marks the third fatal accident in less than two weeks on the same stretch of highway.
