Lessons learnt in blood

Obodo Ejiro

On Wednesday 2, September, as I returned from work there was unusual traffic on Western Avenue; I tuned in to Traffic Radio and was informed that there had been an accident at the Ojuelegba area. It was 4:30 pm.

The reporter informed listeners that “an articulated vehicle carrying a container had thrown off its load.” Other details about the accident were not immediately available. “Officers of the Nigerian Police, LASTMA, FRSC, etc are standing at the accident scene helpless,” the reporter continued.
