A Hiace bus conveying 18 members of the Jonathan Support Group, under the aegis of Jonathan Shall Lead Again Movement (JOSLA), from Katsina to Kaduna en route Abuja, had a head-on with a Volkswagen golf car from the opposite direction at Giwa Junction in Kaduna State.

The state coordinator of the movement, Ms. Queen Abueh, who was one of the passengers, had her hand amputated at a hospital in Zaria, Kaduna State.

She and other passengers are receiving treatment at a private hospital in Kaduna.

Addressing reporters yesterday in Kaduna, the movement’s National Coordinator, Comrade Kingsley Okoruwa, described the accident as unfortunate and a setback for the group.

He said: “We are gratitude to God that the 18 members in the bus are responding to treatment.”

Okoruwa thanked Katsina State Governor Ibrahim Shehu Shema for assisting the victims.

The governor promised to settle the hospital bills of the 18 passengers.
