Four people were reportedly killed in a horrific accident involving a Toyota Hilux transporting a detachment of vigilantes accompanying Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, on his way to Mubi for a campaign engagement.
The accident, which occurred near Fadamareke in Hong Local Government, was allegedly caused by overspeeding while negotiating a risky turn and featured a RAMP 2 Toyota Hilux van driven by the vigilante of Head of Fintiri.
Three dead bodies from the van, including Bako Kaura, the head of the PDP’s informal security arm, and another victim identified as Adamu, Kaura’s biological son, have been deposited in Hong Federal Medical Centre’s mortuary.
Five other occupants in the van who sustained various degree of injuries, were conveyed in the government house ambulance and another unmarked Hilux van, for treatment in a health facility. Governor Fintiri’s personal physician and head of the government house clinic, Dr. William Teri, who was among the first responders at the crash also conveyed the victims to a hospital for treatment.
A source at the scene of the accident who helped with the evacuation and rescue effort, however, said “I took out three lifeless bodies, but there’s a fourth that I think can hardly make it out of coma because of the injury he sustained. There were about nine occupants in the Ramp 2 Hilux van the head of vigilantes for Fintiri/Farauta campaign involved in the accident was traveling in.”
Governor Fintiri, who also helped to coordinate rescue activities was disturbed by tragic death involving his convoy.

Only last week, Governor Fintiri narrowly escaped death by the whispers when a truck which lost control almost rammed into his stationary motorcade. Unfortunately, two vehicles on his convoy, were not so lucky as the truck crushed into them.
The incident occurred around the high brow, Dougirei Hilltop Agga Mosque, where the governor had gone to attend a wedding engagement.
Two policemen who sustained fatal injuries from the crash, were rushed to intensive care unit of the state specialist hospital.
