It is gathered that remains of the victims — the mother, identified as Kudirat, and her two daughters, Mariam (13 years) and Azeezat (10 years) — have been deposited at morgue.

A local, who spoke in confidence with newsmen, explained that the motorcyclist and the driver of the trailer escaped unhurt.

“The three were crushed brutally. However, the motorcyclist escaped unhurt while the trailer driver also sped off; he was pursued but made his escape.”

All efforts made by DAILY POST to get a reaction from the Sector Commander, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in the state, Rosemary Alo, proved abortive at the time of filing this report on Friday
