“The policeman driver was speeding and while negotiating the bend because of the speed could not control the vehicle. They crashed into a deep pit. I was at the back of the convoy, driving slowly.
With the help of other people, we rescued four of them but they were badly injured. They were shouting as the vehicle fell on them.”
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer in the State, DSP Bright Edafe, said he was yet to receive the accident report as of the time of filling this report.
“I have not received the accident report, I will get back to you,” he said.
