Jigawa: Six family members visiting relatives of road accident victims die in car crash

Tragedy has struck Jigawa State once again as another fatal road accident claimed six lives barely 48 hours after a previous crash killed 14 people in Kafin Hausa.

The latest incident occurred on Tuesday night along the Auyo-Adiyani road in Guri Local Government Area.

Witnesses revealed that the victims, all members of the same family from Adiyani, were returning from a condolence visit to relatives of those lost in the earlier accident.

This latest crash raises the death toll from road accidents in Jigawa State to 20 within just two days.

The Police Public Relations Officer for Jigawa State, DSP Shi’isu Lawan Adam, confirmed the incident.

He stated that investigations were underway to determine the cause of the crash.
