Eight school children have survived a ghastly motor accident in Lokoja the Kogi State capital.
Eyewitness account told our correspondent that the children are pupils of Kingdom Heritage Nursery and Primary School Lokoja.
It gathered that the children were returning from school when the sad incident occurred on Thursday at the popular Lokongoma market in Lokoja.
It was further gathered that a heavy-duty truck carrying a container load fell on two small vehicles which trapped the Children.
Through the combined effort of the Nigeria Police, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), and other relevant agencies, the children were rescued.
The Kogi State Security Adviser Commodore Jerry Omodara Rtd. who was on ground to ensure the rescue of the school children confirmed this to our Correspondent.
