A bullion van belonging to a commercial bank has killed two
persons and injured three prospective JAMB candidates waiting
for their PIN number at a Skye Bank branch in Lafia.
An eyewitness said the incident occurred at about 3pm on Tuesday
when the driver of the van said to be on top speed lost control
of the Toyota Hilux pick-up van and rammed into a commercial
motorcycle rider conveying a candidate.
The witness said that the van driver was eating while driving
when the accident occurred.
He said, “The vehicle crushed the okada rider, his passenger and
then knocked down three other persons standing along the road.
The okada rider died on the spot while the JAMB candidate later
died the same day at about 6pm at the Dalhatu Araf Specialist
Hospital where she was rushed to for treatment.”
One of the victims, who spoke to Northern City News on his
sickbed, Mr. James Chima, said he was rescued from under the van
after it knocked him down.
The police spokesman in the state, DSP Idrisu Kennedy, confirmed
the incident, but noted that the vehicle involved in the
accident belonged to a bank and not the police.
"The driver is an employee of the bank and most of the bullion
vans are properties of the banks.
