A witness told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the accident occurred on Sani Abacha Barracks road, adding that it involved a police vehicle’s driver.
He said the driver of the police bullion van, “Roforce” number NPF 2647D, Agada Daniel of the police FCT commands, allegedly drove against the traffic.
“The driver of the bullion van decided to take one way and with the rate of his speed, it rammed into an Abuja painted taxi marked Kaduna, DKA 601XA.
“As a result of the speed, the driver collided with the oncoming vehicle; another painted taxi driver,” he said.
He said four of the injured are staff of the Halogen Security Company in Area 3 of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
According to him, driving against the traffic has become the norms for the police and the military, mostly on the Mararaba axis.
“It is so unfortunate that the law makers are the law breakers in this Country,’’ he noted.
A leader of the NEMA team on rescue mission declined to answer questions as he was busy evacuating the injured passengers.
All efforts by NAN to reach the force PRO proved abortive.
Our Correspondent called the FCT police command’s spokesperson more than five times and even sent a voice and text message to him giving details, but there was no response from him.
