Last week Thursday, Nigerian Professional Football League side, Wikki Tourists, were involved in a road accident on their way to Uyo for their NPFL Match Day 11 tie against Dakkada FC. The bus, which was conveying the players and officials of the club, caught fire and burnt to ashes at Hawan Kibo, Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State. The occupants of the bus managed to escape but most of their properties like playing boots and training kits were consumed in the inferno. In less than 24 hours of the ugly incident involving Wikki Tourists, players and officials of Adamawa United were attacked and robbed by gunmen while on their way to Lagos to honour their match with MFM.
