π₯ Breaking: Seven Lives Lost, Five Battling Injuries in Fiery Niger Road Accident – Witnesses Tell Shocking Details!
A black Friday tragedy struck **Madalla Junction in Niger State** on **September 28, 2025**, when a trailer lost its brakes and rammed into multiple vehicles, sparking a deadly fire.
Eyewitnesses say the crash began with a minor quarrel between a commercial bus driver and a Volkswagen Golf driver over a small collision. While the two argued on the road, an oncoming trailer from the Zuba axis reportedly lost its brakes while descending the slope.
Within seconds, the trailer slammed into the parked vehicles, igniting a massive blaze that left several people trapped. Shocked residents could only watch as flames consumed the vehicles.
At least seven people lost their lives in the crash, with some victims burned beyond recognition. Five others sustained serious injuries and were rushed to Lukas Hospital, Madalla. Sadly, three of the injured later died from their wounds.
The trailer driver, identified as Sulaiman Rabiu, survived the crash and is currently in police custody. He told investigators that his brakes failed just moments before the accident.
Locals blame the ongoing road construction along the Abuja–Kaduna highway for worsening accidents in the area. Poor signage, bad road shoulders, and traffic bottlenecks have turned the route into a danger zone.
This tragic crash is a stark reminder of how fragile life can be on Nigeria’s roads. Road users are calling for urgent government action to improve safety measures before more lives are lost.
π―️ May the souls of the departed rest in peace.
