A yet-to-be-identified man and his friend were on Thursday, reportedly involved in a terrible accident at Berger roundabout bridge in Abuja.

An eyewitness who spoke with Daily Trust said the vehicle was approaching the Area 1 axis of the nation’s capital when one of the tyres burst, causing a loss of control.

The source said, “I was here with my friend when the car fell off the bridge with speed; with the help of other people around, we were able to rescue them after which they were taken to the hospital.”

In other news, the Nigerian Police Force recently paraded nine individuals suspected of internet fraud, an informant to bandits, and eight other suspected criminals at its command in Zamfara State.

The State Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Dalijan, presented the suspects to the public stating that the arrests were made by the Police Tactical Squad during various operations throughout the state.
