Eyewitnesses said the truck lost control before crashing into the multi-million-naira facility.

“I was standing across the road when I saw the truck approaching at speed. Suddenly, the driver seemed to lose control, and the vehicle veered off and hit the gate,” said a trader, Musa Abdullahi.Another witness, a commercial motorcyclist, Ibrahim Sadiq, said the crash could have been worse if pedestrians were nearby.
