Perhaps you might have a reason
to thank God today.
About fifteen children between the ages of 12 and 16 were
crushed to death yesterday in Barkin-Ladi, Plateau state by a commercial
vehicle carrying maize to a nearby market, nine others were hospitalized.
The children were members of the
Boys and Girls brigade of about three churches in the local government headquarters
who were on an early morning routine exercise when the incident happened.
Reports show that the youths usually
gather for exercise by jogging to and from nearby villages, Yesterday was unlucky
as a vehicle carrying maize lost control and ran into the children numbering
about 40 killing 15 instantly, and injuring about nine others. The bodies of
the deceased and injured were taken to a nearby health centre for first aid
treatment before they were transferred to the plateau specialist hospital in
Jos.
