Nigeria woke up to another heartbreaking tragedy.
At least 30 people have been confirmed dead following a devastating truck accident in Kano State, reigniting anger over unsafe roads and weak traffic enforcement.
What happened
The truck, reportedly overloaded with passengers, lost control on a major highway and crashed.
Most victims were:
- Traders
- Travelers
- Low-income earners with no safer transport options
Emergency services arrived, but dozens had already lost their lives.
A disaster waiting to happen
Deadly accidents involving trucks and buses are becoming routine in Nigeria due to:
- Overloading
- Poor vehicle maintenance
- Bad roads
- Weak enforcement of traffic laws
💬 “Every time people die, we shout. Then we forget,” a road safety advocate said.
Nigerians are asking hard questions
- Why are trucks still carrying passengers?
- Where is FRSC enforcement?
- How many more lives must be lost?
Until real action is taken, many fear this will not be the last tragedy.
