Rights Activist, Omoyele Sowore, has claimed that there is no consequence for doing evil in Nigeria.

According to him, all the evil doers he has known have lived longer and are more prosperous than good people.

He made the claim in a recent episode of the Noble Nigeria podcast hosted by Noble Eyisi.

He said, “There is no consequence for doing evil in Nigeria. In fact, the only consequence we have here is against those who do good, not those who do evil.

“All the evil men I have known since I was born have lasted longer than the good people. They don’t die. They have built the best mansions, drove the nicest cars. They lived the best lives.

“But, every weekend, you always hear news of the death of a good man; the guy who didn’t take a bribe when he was in Customs has died. The policeman who rejected gratification has been kicked out homeless and then he died miserably. The teacher who did his work diligently had died. But the principal who was selling exam questions is still alive. The Army general who did not believe in the country he came to govern is still alive. Some of the most corrupt presidents are still alive. The ones who committed the biggest amounts of genocides are in their 90s in this country. But the people who tried to stop it have all died.”

At least seven people have lost their lives in a fatal crash along the Alkaleri–Gombe Federal Highway, while 41 others sustained serious injuries.

The tragic incident was disclosed in an updated First Information Report, FIR, from the RS12.13 Alkaleri Unit Command of the Bauchi State Sector Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, made available to Ekwutosblog.

According to the report, the crash occurred around 3:00 p.m. at Kirfi Junction and involved a commercial DAF trailer. All seven deceased were adult males.

The lone crash was attributed to a mechanical fault, specifically, a structural failure in which the head of the trailer detached from its body while in motion.

A total of 48 people were involved in the incident, including 38 adult males and 10 male children. Of these, 41 sustained varying degrees of injuries, 25 adult males and 16 male children, while seven adult males died at the scene.

FRSC personnel were said to have responded to the distress call at 3:02 p.m. and arrived at the scene by 3:50 p.m., marking a 48-minute response time.

The injured were transported to the General Hospital in Alkaleri, with some later referred to the Specialist Hospital in Bauchi for advanced care. The remains of the deceased were deposited in the morgue before being handed over to their families for burial.

The rescue operation was led by DRC H.Y. Danjuma on behalf of the Unit Commander.

In the wake of the tragedy, Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, paid a condolence visit to Kirfi Local Government Area on Friday. During the visit, he announced a N50 million relief package for the victims and their families.

According to the governor, each bereaved family will receive N2 million, while those still receiving treatment in hospital will be given N1 million each. Victims who have been discharged will receive N500,000 each.

He added that additional support would be provided through the State Emergency Management Agency, SEMA.

Governor Mohammed described the accident as deeply painful, especially given the loss of many young lives.

The governor condemned the practice of transporting over 200 people in a single truck, calling it highly irresponsible and unacceptable.
