Two fatal accidents within 24 hours near Karu Bridge have renewed concerns over safety on Abuja’s Nyanya-Mararaba corridor.
- Sunday crash involved seven vehicles, including a low-bed truck; some cars were wrecked beyond repair.
- Monday evening saw a trailer collide with a sachet water delivery vehicle, triggering major traffic delays.
- Residents report at least four fatal crashes in the Karu Bridge area over the past month alone.
Emmanuel Ogbeche, former NUJ FCT Chair, reflected on social media: “We underestimate our daily commute.” Locals are growing anxious about what they call a dangerous pattern of neglected road safety and poor enforcement.
Will the Federal Capital Territory Administration take urgent action to address this high-risk route, or wait for more casualties?
