FRSC boss warns against night travel after 17 die in two accidents
FRSC boss warns against night travel after 17 die in two accidents
Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Dauda Biu, has again expressed worry over night trips undertaken by travellers on the road across the country despite repeated warnings.
This came after the death of 17 people in two separate night trip accidents early Monday morning.
Biu cautioned drivers against night trips, overloading and excessive speeding.
His caution followed the report of the two crashes that occured in the early hours of Monday 04 March, 2024 at Tashar Yari village along Zaria-Kano Expressway and Fire Service Academy along Yangoji-Gwagwalada expressway.
A statement by the spokesman for the FRSC, Jonas Agwu, said the reports submitted by crash investigation teams of the Corps said the Tashan Yari village crash involved a trailer overloaded with grains and 40 passengers seating on top of the goods.
The trailer with registration number KTG 454 ZZ which was on a night trip, en route Kano from Azare, was said to have crashed due to wrongful overtaking, driving against legal speed limit as well as overloading of vehicle with goods and people alike.
Twelve pey were killed, while 28 sustained different levels of injuries in the accident.
The other accident involved a J5 bus crashing onto a broken down trailer and exploding into flames.
Part of the statement read, “As a result of the impact of the crash, the five victims were burnt beyond recognition. The Crash Investigation Report attributes the cause of the crash to speed violation which led to loss of control.
“The crash occurred on the Yangoji-Gwagwalada expressway. It involved a trailer without registration number and a J5 Peugeot registered as XF 530GRK.
“FRSC rescue team that handled the rescue operations has taken the injured victims of the Tashan Yari crash to Makarfi General Hospital.”
It recalled that Biu had during his press briefing on the review of 2023 activities of the Corps decried the rate of fatal crashes that occurred as a result of night trips and violation of legal speed limits on the highways and overloading of vehicles.
“During that briefing, he highlighted some of the dangers associated with night trips such as poor visibility, fatigue, excessive speed and delayed post-crash response.
“He also cautioned against the risks associated with overloading of vehicles especially trailers and smaller trucks that load vehicles with goods, persons and animals.”
The Corps Marshal has directed Commanding Officers to step up enforcement, stakeholders’ engagement, as well as enhance advocacy campaigns.
Meanwhile, the Corps Marshal has decorated the newly appointed Deputy Corps Marshal representing the North East Geopolitical Zone, DCM Muhammed Kaigama Kabo.
He also decorated the six other Assistant Corps Marshals that were also promoted in the just concluded 2023 exercise, the statement added.

“My Pastor Is Having Sex With My Friend’s Wife” – Man Cries Out
“My Pastor Is Having Sex With My Friend’s Wife” – Man Cries Out
A Nigerian man has sparked online conversations after allegedly discovering that his pastor was involved in a sexual relationship with the wife of someone he considers a friend.
The disturbing claim was contained in a social media post shared by **SilentBeads on its official Facebook account on Monday, November 9, 2026**.
In the post, the man expressed concern over what he described as an alleged sexual relationship between his spiritual leader, a popular television preacher, and his friend’s wife.
According to the account, the woman had been married to the man’s friend for five years, making the allegation particularly troubling to the whistleblower.
Although details of how the alleged relationship was discovered were not provided, the man’s disclosure has drawn attention to questions of trust, marital commitment and the responsibilities of religious leaders.
### Allegation Raises Questions About Pastoral Conduct
The allegation has also renewed discussions about the expectations placed on religious leaders, particularly prominent preachers who command large followings and enjoy the confidence of their congregations.
For many worshippers, pastors are not merely religious teachers but also trusted spiritual advisers whose conduct is expected to reflect the values they preach.
However, the identities of the preacher, the woman, her husband and the man who raised the alarm have not been disclosed in the account available.
There has also been no independently verified evidence establishing the alleged relationship or any public response from the people reportedly involved.
The allegation therefore remains unverified, and the identities of those concerned should not be speculated upon.

‘What More Do Men Want?’ Nigerian Lady Questions Why She Is Still Single Despite Having Everything
‘What More Do Men Want?’ Nigerian Lady Questions Why She Is Still Single Despite Having Everything
A Nigerian woman has triggered an online debate after publicly questioning why she remains unmarried despite believing she possesses the qualities many men desire in a potential wife.
The woman, whose identity has not been established, reportedly raised the question in a social media post accompanied by her photograph.
“I have everything a man could want, but I’m still single. What am I doing wrong?” she reportedly wrote.
Her post, which has gained attention across social media platforms, has attracted mixed reactions, with some users offering relationship advice while others questioned her understanding of what men look for in a life partner.
The discussion, reportedly amplified by social media news aggregators, has since opened up conversations about relationships, marriage expectations and the challenges of finding compatible partners in today’s society.
While some commentators suggested that successful and financially independent women sometimes struggle to find partners who are comfortable with their achievements, others argued that financial stability and physical appearance alone do not guarantee a successful relationship.
Some users also pointed to character, communication, humility and compatibility as important factors that should not be overlooked when seeking a life partner.
Others, however, questioned whether unrealistic expectations and unwillingness to compromise could be contributing to the difficulties some singles encounter in their search for love.
The debate has also highlighted differing opinions about modern relationships, particularly the expectations men and women bring into marriage.
Although the woman’s post did not explain what she meant by having everything a man could want, her question has resonated with many singles who are still searching for suitable partners despite their personal achievements.
Ultimately, finding a life partner goes beyond material possessions or physical attraction, as mutual understanding, shared values, emotional maturity and compatibility also play significant roles.
What do you think could be the reason behind her relationship status? Is it possible to have everything a potential partner desires and still struggle to find love?

‘Don’t Push My Mum to the Brink’ – Son of Second Wife Fires Back Amid Mama Ukehe Backlash
‘Don’t Push My Mum to the Brink’ – Son of Second Wife Fires Back Amid Mama Ukehe Backlash
A fresh twist has emerged in the ongoing Mama Ukehe family controversy in Enugu State as the son of the embattled second wife has appealed to Nigerians to stop attacking his mother, warning that they would face his anger if anything happened to her.
The young man, whose identity has not been established, made the appeal in a social media statement as public criticism of his mother continues to intensify following allegations of maltreatment levelled against her by her husband’s first wife, Mrs Gertrude Anulika Ngwu, popularly known as Mama Ukehe.
In the statement, he expressed displeasure over the volume of negative comments and attacks directed at his mother, insisting that she did not deserve the hostility.
“Nigerians, please stop attacking my mum. Is it not enough already? That woman does not deserve all this hate. Do you want her to die? If anything happens to my mum, you people won’t like it. Please, this is enough,” he said.
His intervention has added another dimension to the controversy, which has continued to attract widespread attention and emotional reactions across social media platforms.
The dispute became a major public talking point after a video showing Mama Ukehe’s emotional experience at her husband’s Ozo title-taking ceremony went viral, prompting many Nigerians to express sympathy for her.
Mama Ukehe reportedly has no biological children and had been married to her husband for several decades before he took a second wife, who has five children.
During an interview with BBC Igbo, the first wife narrated her alleged experiences within the marriage, claiming that she suffered insults and hostility after her husband married another woman.
She alleged that her co-wife rejected gifts she bought for her and described her as bad luck in the presence of the children.
The allegations generated widespread condemnation, with many Nigerians questioning the treatment allegedly meted out to the first wife despite the years she had spent in the marriage.
However, the second wife reportedly denied insulting Mama Ukehe over her childlessness, while her husband also challenged some of the claims made against the family.
Since the controversy erupted, Nigerians have reportedly organised visits, donations and celebrations in honour of Mama Ukehe, with many expressing solidarity with her.
But the latest statement from the second wife’s son has attracted further criticism, with some social media users accusing him and his family of failing to address the allegations that triggered the public outrage.
Others have condemned the intensity of the online attacks, arguing that criticism of the family’s alleged conduct should not translate into threats, harassment or wishing harm on anyone.
The unfolding controversy has continued to generate heated debate, with the latest intervention suggesting that tensions surrounding the family dispute are far from over.
