At least six people, including four National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members travelling in a commercial Hummer bus and one Nigerian Army officer, were burnt alive in a horrific road crash on the Yola–Song highway in Adamawa State on Wednesday.
The victims were trapped in a raging inferno after a military gun-truck conveying soldiers reportedly collided head-on with the commercial Hummer bus, travelling from Kano to Mubi, near Barikin-Sajo, along a dangerous bend on the highway.
