A truck conveying cattle worth millions of naira was set ablaze on Monday in Saki in Oyo State by angry mob for killing a young boy identified as Ayuba Raji.
An eyewitness, Kazeem Adebiyi, informed our correspondent that the incident happened at Challenge Junction along the Saki dual lane road which is under construction.
He said due to the ongoing road construction, motorists find it difficult to follow their lane while driving.
Adebiyi added that over-speeding and carefree driving attitude of the truck driver caused the accident.
An advocate of Saki Town Development Union, Adekunle Lawal popularly known as ‘Saki First’ said the contractors handling the Saki dual lane need to do something about the road.
Lawal in a release also commiserated with the family of the deceased.
According to him, the accident occurred at Challenge Junction which claimed the life of Ayuba Raji, a younger brother to popular Yoruba presenter and musician Monsurat Raji.
The young boy was riding a boxer motorcycle before he was hit by a truck conveying cows.
