The Taraba State chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Ben Ubeh, is dead.
Ubeh reportedly died after he was crushed by a truck transporting sugar along Jalingo-Yola Expressway.
Eye witnesses said the incident occurred in Zing community along the expressway in the morning hours of Sunday, March 25.
Charred bodies of the victim of the accident were scattered along the road but bystanders have covered them with sands pending the arrival of emergency workers.
A Taraba state government official, who asked not to be named, confirmed the incident saying “the state would release an official statement on the accident that claimed Ubeh’s life.”
Meanwhile, the owner of the truck is yet to be identified. Also, there was no plate number on the vehicle but an inscription of BT 0104 on its front side.
