In Maiduguri, Borno State, six women were killed by a tipper truck on the Gubio road. This infuriated a number of young people, who then went on the rampage.
A tipper truck hauling sharp sand had brake failure on Friday, November 4, 2022, about 10:05 am in the Kaswan Fara, Shagari Lowcost Estate region.
Kola Fatai, an eyewitness who talked to Daily Trust, claimed that a truck struck a pickup taking the women to the farm, killing at least six of them.
Iman Buba, a local, claimed that when police tried to diffuse the situation, angry children set fire to two tippers (trucks).
The road leading to Gubio from Maiduguri has been blocked by protesters.
The truck that caused the collision, according to a different eyewitness, was attempting to pass another tipper when it slipped and hit the pickup carrying the women.
