Niger Governor's Convoy Involved in Fatal Road Accident
On Monday, a tragic road accident occurred involving the convoy of Niger State Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago, resulting in the deaths of three individuals. The incident took place around 11 am as the governor was returning from Bida.
A Hilux van from the governor's convoy collided head-on with a private car, which was reportedly driven by a woman from Gidan Mangoro. Witness Danjuma Umar stated that the accident was caused by wrongful overtaking by the Hilux, which struck the private vehicle that was in its lane.
The occupants of the private car, suspected to be postgraduate students from the Federal University of Technology, Minna, died instantly. Two victims were confirmed dead at Minna General Hospital, while a third succumbed to injuries in the emergency unit.
Some injured individuals from the convoy were referred to IBB Specialist Hospital for advanced treatment. Aishat Sa’adu, the Niger State Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps, confirmed the crash and the casualties but could not provide an exact number of those involved.
