At least four persons have reportedly given up the ghost as a Toyota Hilux conveying a detachment of vigilantes, accompanying Governor of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Fintiri, was involved in a ghastly accident while enroute Mubi for a campaign engagement.

It was gathered that the accident which occurred around Fadamareke, in Hong Local Government, was reportedly due to a case of over-speeding.

The RAMP 2 Toyota Hilux Van was said to have colluded with another vehicle while negotiating a dangerous bend.

It was also gathered that three lifeless bodies of occupants in the van, including Bako Kaura, head of PDP’s informal security arm and another victim identified as Adamu, Kaura’s biological son, have been deposited at the mortuary of Hong Federal Medical Centre.

Five other occupants in the van who sustained various injuries were conveyed in the government house ambulance and another unmarked Hilux van for treatment in a health facility. Governor Fintiri’s physician and head of the government house clinic, Dr William Teri, who was among the first responders at the crash also conveyed the victims to a hospital for treatment.

A source at the accident scene who helped with the evacuation and rescue effort said, “I took out three lifeless bodies, but there’s a fourth that I think can hardly make it out of the coma because of the injury he sustained. There were about nine occupants in the Ramp 2 Hilux van the head of vigilantes for the Fintiri/Farauta campaign involved in the accident was travelling in.”
