“This is a journey that takes place at night. “There was a tanker parked by the roadside in the early morning of today, between 6:30am and 7am, and the vehicle lost control and hit the tanker, later going up in flames,” he said.
“God who created us knows why he created day and night,” Agure said, advising motorists to avoid nighttime travel. The vehicle is arriving late at night from Lagos.
“Because you were around Jamata bridge and Akpayan road so early in the morning, it means you drove all night.” To avoid accidents on our roads, drivers should avoid stressing themselves by driving at night.”
