A revenue collector working for Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) was on Wednesday crushed to death by a moving truck at Area One Roundabout in Abuja.
LEADERSHIP gathered that the revenue collector, whose name has not been identified at press time, had stopped the truck to collect the daily fee from the truck driver.
However, the driver of the truck had proved reluctant at paying the daily ticket, while pleading that he did not have money
But in his effort to ensure that he collect the AMAC revenue from the driver, the revenue collector hanged on the vehicle, at the driver’s side, while the vehicle was moving.
