At least 21 people have died and three others were injured in a horrific head-on collision between a truck and a bus in Nigeria’s northern Kano state on Sunday, authorities have confirmed.
The crash, which occurred along the Zaria-Kano highway in the Kasuwar Dogo area, sparked a fire that engulfed both vehicles.
Muhammed Bature, sector commander of the Kano State Federal Road Safety Corps, attributed the accident to a route violation by the bus driver.
The injured were rushed to a government hospital for treatment, he added.
Road accidents are a frequent occurrence in Nigeria, often linked to overloading, poor road conditions, and reckless driving, which continue to claim numerous lives across the country. (ILKHA)
