A senior officer of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) found at the scene of the accident who pleaded anonymity told Vanguard that he wouldn’t want to divulge any information so that it will not conflict with the statement from his office.

The FRSC Information Officer in Bauchi has promised to release a statement later.
