One person has been killed and four others injured in a collision involving trucks belonging to Dangote Group and BUA Group on Sunday at Kugbo along Nyanya road, Abuja.

Spokesman of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Bisi Kazeem, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), that the injured persons were immediately taken to Nyanya General Hospital and Medical Centre, Mararaba.

“At about 1400 hrs, a BUA truck fully loaded with bags of cement had a failed brake at Kugbo while heading towards Nyanya and ran into a Dangote truck from behind,” he said.

“This situation caused total blockade. However, our men from Emergency Ambulance Service Scheme known as Zebra and Nyanya Unit promptly moved in and created an alternative route through Kugbo mechanic village for gradual movement of traffic.”

The trucks and bags of cement have been moved out of the road.

Kazeem said the deceased’s corpse was deposited at the Mararaba Federal Medical Centre’s mortuary.
