Three people have died and one other is said to have a
little survival chance following an accident involving a Toyota Hilux conveying
vigilantes accompanying Governor Ahmadu Fintiri for a campaign in Adamawa
State’s commercial town of Mubi.
The accident occurred at a community in Hong local
government area called Fadamareke while the affected vehicle was negotiating a
dangerous bend.
The three bodies, including that of Bako Kaura, head of
PDP’s informal security arm and another victim identified as Adamu, Kaura’s
biological son have been deposited at the mortuary of Hong Federal Medical
Centre, a source disclosed.
Five other occupants in the van who also sustained injuries
were conveyed in the Government House ambulance and another unmarked Hilux van,
for treatment in the health facility.
Nine people were said to have been in the ill-fated van.
Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, who also helped to coordinate
rescue activities was said by those close to him to have been disturbed by the
deadly crash in his convoy.
This is the second time in about a week that his convoy
would suffer this fate.
Only last week, Governor Fintiri himself narrowly escaped
death when a truck which lost control almost rammed into his stationary
motorcade within the Yola capital metropolis.
The offending truck had crashed into two vehicles in the
convoy and caused injuries to two policemen who had to be rushed to the
intensive care unit of the state Specialist Hospital in Jimeta.
The Police Public Relations Officer in Adamawa State, SP
Suleiman Nguroje could not be reached for comment on the latest incident at
press time Thursday afternoon but a dependable security source affirmed that
the convoy crash did happen and that three people died.
