Couple Crushed While Heading to Farm in FCT

A couple in the Abaji Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Alhaji Musa Baba and his wife, Fatima Baba, were tragically killed by a car while riding a motorcycle to their farm.

Witnesses reported that the accident occurred around 3 pm near the Abaji General Hospital junction. A Mercedes Benz, traveling from the Gwagwalada direction, struck the couple.

“The man died on the spot, while his wife succumbed to her injuries at the hospital,” said a witness.

Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) officials quickly arrived at the scene and transported the bodies to the hospital.

Funeral prayers for the couple were later held at the Abaji Science Primary School football pitch, led by Malam Ishaq Baba Tsana, Deputy Imam of Abaji Central Mosque.

In response to the tragic accident, residents of Abaji have urged the Federal Ministry of Works to construct an overhead bridge or interchange to prevent further accidents and loss of lives in the area.
