At least 40 people were killed earlier this week after a bus-truck collision in Nigeria‘s northwestern state of Kaduna, Nigerian President Bola Tinubu’s spokesman said.
Dozens of survivors sustained varying degrees of injury from the incident, which occurred in the Saminaka town of Kaduna, during a religious celebration on Sunday, Bayo Onanuga, a presidential spokesman said in a statement issued on behalf of Tinubu.
The victims were on their way from Kwandari, a town in the north-central state of Plateau when their ill-fated bus collided with a truck.
