Husband, Wife Crushed To Death By Truck In Ogun Accident

An auto accident involving a Toyota Camry car, Sino truck and a motorcycle around Odogbara, on the Sagamu-Ogijo Road, has killed two persons suspected to be husband and wife.

Babatunde Akinbiyi, Spokesperson, Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps in the state, reported the incident to the News Agency of Nigeria in Abeokuta on Tuesday.


Akinbiyi said the accident occurred at 7.40 am. 

He said it was caused by speeding, recklessness and brake failure on the part of the motorcycle with no registration number carrying a man and a woman.

He stated that the motorcycle hit the car marked FKY-733 GF at the rear end and the two passengers on the motorbike were crushed to death by an oncoming truck.

The rider was said to have survived, but with severe injuries.

Akinbiyi said, “According to an eyewitness, the motorcyclist was going to Sagamu from the Ogijo axis, when in an attempt to overtake the Camry car, after already overtaking three trailers, hit the car from behind before falling on the road.

“The trailer marked AGL-505 WX coming behind ran over them and the two passengers died on the spot while the motorcyclist was injured. Unfortunately, the deceased were husband and wife,” he said.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki.

However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
