Seven members of the All
Progressives Congress on Thursday night died in an accident along the
Gumel/Babura Road.
The accident was reported to have
occurred while they were on their way home after the party’s senatorial
primaries which held in Gumel, the headquarters of Gumel Local Government Area
of Jigawa State.
They were said to have left Gumel
for their home town, Gwiwa, after casting their votes.
It was gathered that the accident
was caused by over-speeding, involving a bus with registration number XB 421
KZR and a Golf car with registration number AA 87 MAN.
The two vehicles veered off the
road and somersaulted. Six occupants of the bus and one in the Golf car died.
Confirming the incident, the
spokesperson of the state police command, SP Abdu Jinjiri, told DailyTrust that
the accident was caused by over speeding.
SP Jinjiri added that the remains
of the seven dead passengers have since been released to their relatives for
burial.
Meanwhile, Jigawa Deputy
Governor, Alhaji Ibrahim Hassan, was elected as the All Progressives Congress
(APC) candidate for Jigawa Northeast Senatorial District.
