In Nigeria's state of Kano, a tragic accident occurred when a bus carrying 22 athletes returning from a sports festival veered off a bridge, resulting in fatalities and injuries among passengers. The cause of the incident, which took place over the weekend, is still under investigation. The athletes had competed in the Nigerian National Sports Festival in Ogun state before the tragic event. The bus, carrying over 30 people, including athletes, coaches, and sporting officials representing Kano, crashed off the Chiromawa Bridge on the Kano-Zaria expressway.
