Niger Governor's convoy accident claims students' lives
An accident involving a convoy associated with the Niger Governor occurred along the Minna–Bida Road on Monday morning. The convoy was reportedly returning to Minna after a condolence visit to the Etsu Nupe in Bida, following the death of Hajia Aisha, Sagin Nupe.
The accident took place at Gidan Mongoro, and it remains unclear whether the governor was present in the convoy at the time. Among the deceased were Nafisat Abubakar Aguye and Ibrahim Ado Bayero, both postgraduate students at the Federal University of Technology, Minna.
The identities of two other deceased students have not been disclosed. Dauda Chukuba, the Director-General of Government House, sustained injuries and was taken to the IBB Specialist Hospital in Minna for treatment.
The Police Public Relations Officer in Niger, SP Wasiu Abiodun, confirmed that an investigation into the accident is underway.
