A Toyota Hilux carrying a group of vigilantes with Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri on their way to Mubi for a campaign event was involved in a ghastly accident.
The RAMP 2 Toyota Hilux vehicle used by the Head of Fintiri’s vigilante was involved in the accident that happened at Fadamareke in Hong Local Government, which is thought to have been caused by speeding through a hazardous bend.
Three dead bodies from the van’s passengers, including Bako Kaura, the head of the PDP’s unofficial security unit, and another victim identified as Adamu, Kaura’s biological son, have been brought to the mortuary of the Hong Federal Medical Center.
Five additional van occupants with varying degrees of injuries were sent to a medical institution for treatment in an unmarked Hilux van and a government-house ambulance. Dr. William Teri, Governor Fintiri’s personal doctor and director of the government house clinic, transported the accident victims to a hospital for treatment and was one of the first people on the scene.
A source at the scene of the accident who helped with the evacuation and rescue effort, however, said “I took out three lifeless bodies, but there’s a fourth that I think can hardly make it out of coma because of the injury he sustained. There were about nine occupants in the Ramp 2 Hilux van the head of vigilantes for Fintiri/Farauta campaign involved in the accident was traveling in.”
Governor Fintiri who was troubled by the unfortunate incident that involved his convoy also assisted in organizing rescue efforts.
Governor Fintiri just narrowly avoided death by the whispers just last week when a truck that lost control nearly hit his stopped motorcade. Unfortunately, two of the convoy’s vehicles weren’t that fortunate since the truck plowed into them.
The governor had gone to the eminent Dougirei Hilltop Agga Mosque to attend a wedding engagement when the tragedy took place there.
Two cops who were killed in the collision were sent to the state specialist hospital’s intensive care unit.
