Fifteen people have been confirmed dead following crashes that occurred along the Kaduna-Abuja highway over the weekend.
In a statement on Sunday, Kaduna State Government attributed the accidents to a trailer conveying grains and motorcycles to Abuja who was driving against traffic.
“Fifteen people have died on the Kaduna-Abuja road in the last 72 hours, in road traffic crashes caused by driving in the opposite direction to oncoming traffic,” the Government said.
