From Ibrahim Sidi Muh’d, in Gusau
Eleven delegates who participated in Wednesday’s Nigeria Union of Journalists’ (NUJ) Presidential and other exco elections held in Owerri, the state capital of Imo State had narrowly escaped ghastly motor accident along Abuja-Kaduna road on Friday.
Reporting the incident, the Zamfara State Secretary of the NUJ, Malam Ibrahim Ahmed Gada, said the incident happened when the Just reelected Zonal Secretary (Zone A), Comrade Abdurrazak Bello Kaura driving Zamfara NUJ officials dodged an oncoming vehicle to avoid a head-on collision while moving on the same lane following 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 and hit a long tanker vehicle where both front and driver sides of the NUJ bus got badly damaged”.
He further said that all the delegates on board had safely rushed out for safety only that some of them had minor injuries, adding, ”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 repairs.
