…..3 soldiers die, one injured.
Mohammed Babangida, son of former Military President, Ibrahim Babangida and his family Monday escaped death by whiskers when his convoy ran into a trailer loaded with tomatoes along Minna-Suleja road and narrowly escaped being crushed to death.
The accident which happened on Monday evening reports say, however, claimed the lives of three security personnel who were soldiers in his convoy.
Mohammed Babangida, who was heading to Abuja, was said to be in a Honda Space bus with other members of his family behind a security vehicle which was a Prado SUV in which the four security personnel were in.
The convoy reportedly had a head-on collision with the trailer which was travelling in the opposite direction
Although no member of the Babangida family was hurt, one of the security personnel survived the accident but was critically injured and is currently receiving treatment at the National Hospital, Abuja.
According to an eyewitness, the bad portion of the dual carriage highway at Mallam Karu village, where vehicles divert to one lane, was responsible for the collision between the trailer and the convoy.
Sympathizers have continued to troop to the hill top mansion of the former military head of state over the unfortunate incident.
