Nasarawa Governor Abdulahi Sule has raised the alarm over activities of the terror group, Boko Haram, in his state.
Governor Sule visited President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday for a closed door meeting in his office at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja, to discuss the insecurity issue in Nasarawa along with other issues including the possible federal government take-over of Jitata Road, which serves as an alternative route from the state to the FCT.
According to Governor Sule, members of the terror group, who were dislodged from a location along the Abuja/Nasarawa borders last year, had regrouped along the Nasarawa/Benue borders, wrecking new forms of havoc.
The personnel of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) rescued those injured in the accident and evacuated the corpses from the road.
The Sector Commander, Mrs Kudirat Ibrahim, confirmed the incident. She spoke through the Public Relations Officer of FRSC in the state, Mrs Agnes Ogungbemi.
Ibrahim told Daily Trust that apart from two persons that died in the accident, three others sustained injuries.
The FRSC boss identified loss of control, speed violation and dangerous driving as probable causes of the accident.
“The injured victims were taken to Wesley Hospital, Ilesa, in whose mortuary one of the corpses was kept. The other dead victim is still trapped in the vehicle”, she said.
