About two persons have reportedly lost their lives in a fatal motor accident that happened yesterday morning, along East-West Road at Rumuji Community in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State.
An eyewitness narrated that two commercial buses coming from opposite sides had a collision after the police stations, resulting in the loss of two lives and several others sustaining different degrees of bodily injuries.
Some indigenes of Rumuji community who spoke with Africa Update, decried the increasing cases of accident around the axis, which they attributed to the permanent roadblock on one side of the road by policemen attached to the Rumuji Police Division.
They noted that since men of Rumuji Police Division blocked one side of the road as a measure to curb crime in the state, commuters are forced to use the one-way lane against traffic in the area.
They said it has therefore become necessary for relevant authorities and stakeholders to prevail on personnel of Rumuji Police Division to reopen the other side of the road to allow easy flow and avoid the one-way movement on a busy high way to avoid unnecessary accidents.
