The eyewitness also called on the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) to repair the common user road in the port to curb the rate of truck accidents.
“He tried to be careful but still climbed the strip, leading to the accident. That was how it happened last week Friday. NPA should try and reconstruct this road. This strip (the road median) should not be there because it is not giving enough way to the trucks,” he said.
