At least seven people were killed and 18 others seriously injured when a bus carrying wedding guests crashed into an armoured military vehicle in northeast Nigeria, an official said Saturday.
The accident occurred late Friday when the bus full of women and children returning from a wedding collided with the armoured military vehicle outside the town of Azare in Bauchi state.
“The bus driver lost control when one of the front tyres burst just outside Azare and collided with the armoured military vehicle coming from the opposite direction,” transport official Saidu Yusuf Funtua told AFP.
“We took seven dead bodies to hospital with 18 people injured in the accident. All the victims were from the bus,” he said.
Deadly accidents are common on Nigeria’s poorly-maintained roads, often caused by speeding, overloading or reckless driving.

Whoever wants to impeach me, will have to impeach God first : Governor of Ekiti state Ayo Fayose
"I’m like Israel that is in the midst of enemies but will always prevail. Whoever wants to remove me will first have to impeach God. They are doing all these just to get at me because of my support for President Jonathan and I have no regret for supporting the president.
Let me say it again, I have not been served any impeachment notice. The House of Assembly is also on recess and Dr Adewale Omirin is not the speaker of the State House of Assembly. Omirin is in court, challenging his impeachment and he can’t be challenging his impeachment in court and at the same time laying claim to being Speaker.” he said.
Gruesome Murder: 14-yr-old boy stabbed to death for refusing to join cult group in Calabar
The incident which happened in Ikot Ekpo community in Calabar, Cross River State, has thrown the residents into shock and many are wondering why the boy who described as very religious and studious could be the target of the cultists.
The state Commissioner of Police, Henry Fadairo, confirmed the incident and said the lad was stabbed to death by one Ita, a suspected of the cult group.
Fadairo said that Ita, along with other members of the group, tried to lure David into joining them after their first trial failed. Upon his refusal, the deceased was stabbed to death.
He also paraded some of the cult goup members who were arrested in the course of investigation whose names were given as Okon, 15, Effiong, 18, Etim, 18 and Ekpo, 15.
Ita, the prime suspect allegedly confessed to stabbing the teenager to death:
"I am a member of Skylo group. We used to terrorize Calabar residents. When Okon was called to join the Skylo group, we started putting pressure on him to join.
When he was adamant by refusing to join us, we had to murder him by stabbing him on the back."
Muhammadu Buhari: President-elect urges Igbos to forgive Oba of Lagos
Buhari made the plea on Tuesday, April 7, 2015, during an All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship rally in the state.
The President-elect also described Lagos as a home for all saying that the time had come for Nigerians to look past ethnicity in the general interest of peace and unity.
Buhari paid a visit to the state on Tuesday to boost the campaign efforts of the APC candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode.
“I admire what your governor has done in terms of mobilising revenue to sustain Lagos development. I have a lot of respect for Governor Fashola for his hard work, commitment to the state and the country. There is no doubt that Lagos is a mini-Nigeria. We are all here and it has been mentioned by previous speakers that everybody (tribe) is adequately represented in Lagos,” the President-elect said.
“Please when you go home tell your neighbours, relatives and even the opposition to please bury the hatchet. Let them fall in line and vote the APC,” Buhari added.
The President-elect also said that Lagos was too important to the country to become an opposition state.
Girl Found Giant Albino Snake Curled Up In Her Bathroom
Describing the situation Mrs Marriott said: “Hannah was calm at first. She can’t even deal with spiders, but I don’t think she thought it was real. She’d been looking at it for a few minutes until it moved. She thought I was having a joke. I felt like a wally dialling 999 but I didn’t know what to do. I’m frightened because I don’t know how it got in. It was like something out of a film. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Everybody needed a wee, but we couldn’t go.”
