Police spokesperson in Gombe State, DSP Buhari Abdullahi, who confirmed the incident, said five people – two males and three females – were pronounced dead by medical personnel while eight injured victims are currently undergoing treatment at the Specialist Hospital, Gombe and Billiri General Hospital and other clinics in the town.

He said the incident involving a truck happened along the Gombe-Yola Road around 7am on Monday.

He stated that the truck, loaded with grains, was immediately set ablaze by residents of the area and an attempt was made to lynch the driver, but for the swift intervention of the police.
