A trailer belonging to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, over the weekend, killed an ‘okada’ rider after allegedly losing its break around Oke Elesin street, Amuloko area in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital.
The trailer, which was said to have crushed the ‘okada’ rider to death, hit nine others who reportedly sustained serious injuries.
