A family was involved in a
fatal accident in the early hours of Saturday while travelling to the village.
It was gathered that the man who arrived Nigeria recently from abroad, was
travelling with his wife, two sons and his siblings to the East before the
unfortunate incident.
According to GB Onitilo,
the family members were stopped by the police on Otedola highway just before
Berger at about 5.35am on Saturday and they told the officers they were on
their way to the village for the New Year.
While talking with the
policemen at the checkpoint...
a speeding vehicle rammed
into their car from behind and wrecked havoc.
According to the
eyewitness, the police officers allegedly fled the scene immediately after the
accident.
The wife was killed in the
crash as her body was brought out from under the vehicle while the husband's
left leg got crushed completely.
The children and others
were unhurt as the wounded man was rushed to the hospital with the aid of
emergency officials who arrived the scene on time.
The man will be moved to
another specialist hospital to attend to his limbs.
