Narrating the Isiala Ngwa South incident, an eyewitness, Mr. James Iheanyi said: “I was coming behind the Toyota Avalon carrying a man, a woman and a baby girl.
“Just in a twinkle of an eye, the driver of the Avalon veered off the road, killing the okada man and the male passenger as he (car driver) hit them from the back.
“You can see the impact of the accident on the Avalon. We only told the man to leave here to go and make entry at the police station so that police can come and evacuate his car and the corpses of the deceased persons from the scene and to avoid being lynched by angry mob.”
A road safety official, who spoke anonymously, confirmed the incident at Aro-Ngwa and stated the corpses of the deceased have been deposited at the morgue.
