According to reports, a truck yesterday crushed four persons, a young lady, a pregnant woman, as well as her two children.
This incident occurred along Onitsha-Owerri Expressway as the victims were trying to cross the busy express road.
According to a Facebook user identified as Ferdinand Izuchukwu Ezulike, the accident was caused by a group of Nigerian Policemen who were allegedly on guard at the Dangote Cement Depot located along the Onitsha-Owerri road.
Izuchukwu said the policemen were standing on the expressway, purportedly extorting money from the motorists and tricyclists (keke riders).
In the process of trying to extort money from a particular keke rider who stepped on his brakes suddenly, a truck rammed into the tricycle from behind, crushing a young lady, a pregnant woman and her two children who were crossing to the other side of the road.
A crowd of people gathered shortly, and they became so angry that they set the Dangote Cement Depot (where the officers were stationed) on fire.
