MINNA \u2013 Hell was Tuesday, let loose in Tafa, Niger State, when irate youths protesting the avoidable death of passengers in an 18-seater commuter bus took to the streets, touched the office of the Federal Road Safety Commission,FRSC, in Tafa, burnt a Police Patrol van and caused serious damage to property.<\/p>\n

The accident, according to eye witnesses, was caused by alleged negligence of the Federal Road safety Commission office in Tafa who failed to remove a broken down truck, 14 days after it developed fault on the Abuja\/ Kaduna expressway by Tafa junction, resulting in the accident that claimed the lives of the 18 passengers.<\/p>\n

Vanguard gathered that the broken truck loaded with grains, on its way from Abuja to Kaduna, broke down in the middle of the road, and had been causing serious traffic problems in the last 14 days.<\/p>\n

The FRSC office is said to be about 200 metres from where the truck broke down and its officers did nothing to remove it.<\/p>\n

Vanguard gathered that unfortunately, at about 3 am, in the early hours of Tuesday, an 18-seater bus loaded with passengers, rammed into the vehicle, caught fire and all the occupants of the vehicle were burnt to death beyond recognition.<\/p>\n

According to the witness: \u201cAs the Police attempted to remove the corpses yesterday, the youths of the town, joined by some miscreants, became angry, took on the Police and set the Police Patrol van ablaze.<\/p>\n

A Road Safety van was also set ablaze.\u00a0 From the there, the youths and miscreants took to the town causing havoc and destruction until a combine team of Mobile Policemen were deployed to the area. The intervention brought normalcy to the area while 6 persons were arrested.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
