On Sunday, a pedestrian bridge at Dorayi quarters, Kano,
collapsed, killing at the least seven people, the state Police Command said. The
incident happened around 4:45 p.m. when the bridge, which was still under
construction, caved in and collapsed on a car, which was passing underneath it.
“The workers at the site had warned motorists not to pass
because they were working on the bridge but the driver of the taxi allegedly ignored
the warning. So, the moment he moved; before he passed, the bridge caved in and
collapsed on the vehicle, which led to the death of seven persons,” the
command’s Public Relations Officer, ASP Magaji Majiya,
According to him, the vehicle has since been evacuated from
the scene while the corpses have been deposited at a hospital morgue. Majiya
said the police had also commenced investigation into the cause of the
incident.
