The delegates from Zamfara State who participated in the just-concluded Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) delegates conference held in Owerri, the capital of Imo State, narrowly escaped a ghastly motor accident along the Abuja-Kaduna road on Friday while returning to Zamfara.
Reporting the incident, the Zamfara State Secretary of the NUJ, Malam Ibrahim Ahmed Gada, said that the incident occurred when the just-reelected Zonal Secretary, Zone A, Comrade Abdurrazak Bello Kaura, who was driving the Zamfara NUJ officials, dodged an oncoming vehicle to avoid a head-on collision while moving on the same lane due to ongoing road construction.
According to Ahmed Gada, “It was as a result of dodging the oncoming vehicle that our bus jumped to the other lane and brushed against and hit a long tanker vehicle, where both the front and driver sides of the NUJ bus got badly damaged.”
He further informed that all the delegates on board safely rushed out for safety, with only some sustaining minor injuries. He added, “We all walked out of the bus by ourselves.”
The secretary noted that the damaged bus was towed to Kaduna, where it would be safely kept for reconstruction.
