“My husband retrieved a gallon from our boot to buy fuel while I was surfing the internet with my phone, and before I knew it, because everything is still like a dream to me, I heard people screaming before I could turn back to gaze at them, in fact; the rest is history. I have nothing else to say but to thank God because if not God, I would have been dead”.
Eye witness, Jane Ijeh told DAILY POST, “ The two persons suspected to have died were just coming with legs when the car crashed into them, and they were severely injured and could not talk as they were being taking to a private hospital”.
