Anger In Benin After Speeding Vehicle Kills 4 Children Of Same Parents

By Ayodele Oluwafemi

Hell was let loose, on Saturday morning in Benin City, when a fast-moving BMW car crushed four children of the same parents to death.

It was gathered that the children were knocked down while crossing the busy Uselu/Lagos Expressway, close to the traditional ground, in Egor Local Government Area of the state.

The unfortunate development angered youths in the community who staged protest against the incident and blocked the road.

The BMW car was burnt down while the driver of the car was no where to be found.

The development caused traffic gridlock along the road and business activities hindered around the area. Commuters were stranded and many of them forced to trek long distances​ to their destinations.

Meanwhile, when journalists visited the scene of the accident, a few policemen were seen trying to restore normalcy along the road.

A resident who claimed anonymity said: “That road is too busy. It is even difficult for an adult to cross the road, let alone young children. Why send your children on errand without going with them?”

However, efforts to get the reaction of the police authority failed, as calls to the mobile phone of the State Police Command PPRO, DSP Chidi Nwanbuzor were unsuccessful.
