“It involved two vehicles, a long DAF truck and a Toyota Hiace commercial Bus with registration numbers FKY 321 YF and XB 632 NSR respectively.

“The accident was as a result of dogging potholes by the truck thereby jammed the bus and subsequently bursted in flames which led to the death of four people, three males and a female.”

“Two of the victims were burnt to ashes and two others died while on the way to the hospital. Actually when we reached the scene of accident the vehicles were still on flames.

“We had no option than to seek the services of the fire service who immediately responded and aided to quench the fire. One person inside the bus was not identified because he burnt beyond recognition and nobody knows where he is coming from.

“In view of that we reported the case to the Chairman, Zaria Local Government who authorised us to go and bury him and the man has been buried according to Islamic rights,” he said.

The Unit Commander attributed the accident to overspeeding and appealed to motorists to be cautious while on wheels and always respect traffic rules and regulations to arrive their respective destination safely.

Speaking on the involvement of the veteran journalists in the accident, Murabus-Tata said he had no idea about it but their major call in the such incident is to rush the survivors to hospital .

“Actually I don’t know, you know when an accident happen our own is to rush them to hospital and those who died if their relations are around with the collaboration of the police we release the corpse to them.”

However, daughter to the veteran journalist, Miss Dame Dominic, confirmed to newsmen that her father died in the accident, adding that she was still in ABUTH Shika waiting for her uncle to come for the corpse.

According to her the deceased left behind four children including 3 female and a male.
