Six Ekiti doctors, driver perish in auto crash
Six members of the Ekiti State branch of
the Nigerian Medical Association, including their driver, on Sunday
lost their lives in a road traffic accident along Abuja-Kaduna
Expressway.
The men were on their way to Sokoto for
the 56th NMA Annual General Conference/Annual Delegates Meeting when
their vehicle was involved in a fatal crash.
It was gathered that the
rear tyre of the vehicle burst while the driver was speeding.
The impact, it was gathered, set the
vehicle on a ghastly somersault, killing the six medical doctors and the
driver while others were injured.
The Ekiti NMA Chairman, Dr. John
Akinbote, who survived the accident, told one of our correspondents on
Monday that survivors were still receiving treatment at an undisclosed
hospital in Kaduna.
