CC Apaji Danladi Boyi, the Sector Commander of FRSC,, revealed this on Friday while briefing journalists in his office.

He said the accident occurred at about 6:20 a.m. along the Jama’are–Azare axis of the Kano–Maiduguri Expressway.

According to Boyi, the crash involved a commercial vehicle with registration number KTG 181 ZZ, which was conveying 19 passengers from Gombe to Kano.

“The fatal crash involved a commercial vehicle carrying 19 passengers from Gombe to Kano,” he said.

The FRSC commander explained that preliminary findings pointed to overspeeding, driver fatigue and loss of control as the likely causes of the accident, adding that investigations were still ongoing.

“Our initial investigation suggests that overspeeding and fatigue, which led to loss of control, may have caused the crash,” Boyi stated.

He said FRSC operatives promptly rescued the injured victims and took them to the Federal Medical Centre, Azare, where they are currently receiving treatment.

The remains of those who died were deposited at the hospital morgue for identification and collection by their families.

Boyi added that the corps’ Operation Zero Tolerance was still ongoing across Bauchi State, noting that patrols had been intensified on major highways.

He also warned motorists to obey traffic rules, stressing that traffic volume remained high as many travellers were still returning to their destinations after the yuletide and New Year holidays.

A member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP/Obidient Movement, Dickson Iroegbu, has said that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, now thinks he is bigger than President Bola Tinubu.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING

Iroegbu said this on Friday in an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television monitored by DAILY POST.

He said that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, gave Wike the platform to destroy the PDP, adding that he is now trying to scuttle Nigeria’s democracy.

“The truth of the matter is that APC, through the enabling of the president gave Wike the platform with which he has used now to almost attempting to scuttle democracy in Nigeria.

“They positioned him to wreck, undermine and possibly annihilate the PDP. And having almost succeeded in that, he now thinks himself bigger than the President.

“Because if you listened to the meetings he had with some of his supporters in Rivers state and all of that, you would hear him say nobody (he didn’t exempt anybody) can decide what happens in the state.

“Wike has become larger than life as created by the Tinubu’s administration and we hope that this their fight continues so that Nigerians can now take back their country,” he said.
