A source said the woman, who sold electrical appliances, had boarded a motorcycle with the children after close of sales for the day when the incident occurred.
The source stated that the driver of the pick-up was going home with N200,000, being part payment of proceeds from the sale of his family’s piece of land, when he rammed into the victims.

According to him, the car somersaulted several times, but no casualty was recorded. He added that the bodies of the deceased had been deposited in the mortuary of a nearby hospital, while the Hilux driver is still at large.
