happened.

tricycle was christening his baby today(Friday), which was why he gave
the tricycle to the driver involved in the accident named ‘Baba Mercy’

tricycle route was from Orita Merin to Sango, this accident would have
not occurred if the waste disposal truck was not packed beside the
roadside.

“We are appealing to the present and the incoming
government in Oyo State to stop these truck from evacuating refuse and
packing on the roadside. The government should bring back the waste bin
we are using before, whereby wastebasket has been put beside the road
for the people to dump their refuse there.

“Oyo State government
should look for another way of evacuating refuse instead of using these
truck and people should also stop dumping reduce on the roadside again”.
