SEE HOW A BABY FALLS FROM MOTHER’s BACK WHILE ON OKADA AND CRUSHED BY HEAVY-DUTY TRUCK IN DELTA STATE

A 4-month-old baby girl, who had fallen off the back of her mother, while they were travelling on okada,  was yesterday crushed by a heavy-duty truck, conveying crates of soft drinks at the Okorodafe Roundabout in Ughelli, Delta State. According to eyewitnesses, the baby’s mother, who is in her 30s and simply identified as Ese, was said to have been struggling to adjust the wrapper with which she strapped the baby to her back, while the okada was in motion. The baby is said to have fallen on the middle of the road and was immediately crushed by the truck, which was directly behind the okada. Shortly after the gory incident, officials of Ughelli Command of the Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, were seen clearing the remains of the dead baby from the road.
