- Be mindful of road signs and drive safely – CP Delta State
A trailer ladened with granite has crushed a twenty-year-old boy, Mr. Godspower Chukwuka Igbomor to death along the ever-busy Ogume/Kwale road by Nduku Primary School, Ogbole Ogume Community in Ndokwa-West Local Government Area of Delta State.
A commercial motorcyclist conveying the deceased also sustained minor injuries in the incident.
Shortly after the ugly incident occurred, the trailer driver disappeared into the thin air for fear of being mobbed.
The trailer was returning from Auchi and was heading to Kwale at a high speed when the driver suddenly lost control in the process, crushing the victim beyond recognition.
A group at their duty post along the road were invited to the scene.
The leader of the vigilante group, Mr. Louis Okekonum quickly contacted the police at Abbi.
