A family was involved in a fatal accident in the early hours of today
while travelling to the village.  It was gathered that the man who
arrived Nigeria recently from abroad, was travelling with his wife, two
sons and his siblings to the eastern part of the country before the
unfortunate incident. 

According to GB Onitilo, the family
members were stopped by the police on Otedola highway just before Berger
at about 5.35 am on Saturday and they told the officers they were on
their way to the village for the New Year.

While talking with the policemen at the checkpoint, a speeding vehicle rammed into their car from behind and wrecked havoc.

According to the eyewitness, the police officers allegedly fled the scene immediately after the accident.

The
wife was killed in the crash as her body was brought out from under the
vehicle while the husband’s left leg got crushed completely. 

The
children and others were unhurt as the wounded man was rushed to the
hospital with the aid of emergency officials who arrived the scene on
time. 

The man is said to be okay and will be moved to another specialist hospital to attend to his limbs.
