19 Wedding Guests Die in Plateau Accident

A horrific road accident in the Kwana Maciji area of Pankshin Local Government Area, Plateau State, killed 19 people and injured 11.

The victims were returning to Kano State after attending a wedding in the Barkin Ladi Local Government Area.

John Dasar, Chairman of the Pankshin Local Government Area Emergency Management Committee, verified the occurrence, claiming that the accident happened on Saturday when the travelers’ vehicle crashed and caught fire.

“The accident happened on Saturday. The people were from Kano; they came for a wedding ceremony at Barkin Ladi. They were returning home and decided to take the Gindiri-Bauchi route, which is shorter. Unfortunately, their vehicle was involved in an accident, and while efforts were being made to help them out, the vehicle caught fire,” Dasar explained.
