Woman Killed as Tipper Truck Loses Control at Iyana Ishasi U-Turn
A tragic incident occurred at the Iyana Ishasi U-turn, inward Mile 2, on Tuesday, December 17, when a fully loaded Howo tipper truck lost control and fatally struck a woman standing by the roadside.
Preliminary reports from the Lagos State Traffic Management Agency (LASTMA) revealed that the truck, while attempting to navigate heavy traffic at high speed, suffered a brake failure. The resulting loss of control caused the vehicle to veer off its path, hitting the pedestrian, who tragically died on the spot.
Officials from the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and LASTMA, supported by officers from the Ishasi Police Division, promptly responded to manage the situation and ensure security in the area.
Reacting to the incident, LASTMA General Manager, Olalekan Bakare-Oki, expressed his condolences to the victim’s family, describing the loss as deeply regrettable. He urged motorists to prioritize safety through regular vehicle maintenance and strict adherence to traffic laws to prevent such avoidable tragedies.
The unfortunate event serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of reckless driving and poor vehicle management on Nigerian roads.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
