YENAGOA — A commercial tricycle passenger was killed on Monday in a road accident involving a truck and a tricycle along the Okaka stretch of Melford Okilo Road, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.
The incident, which occurred around 8:30 a.m. near Okaka Primary School, sparked a confrontation between an angry crowd and security officials over the circumstances surrounding the crash.
However, accounts of what led to the fatal accident remained conflicting.
An official of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), who spoke on condition of anonymity, said FRSC personnel and a tow truck team stationed in the area observed the Dangote truck allegedly speeding about 400 metres away.
