A cattle truck
veered out of control in Sokoto state and plunged
into a river, killing 27 men who were also on board, authorities said on
Tuesday.
The accident occurred late on Monday close to the border with neighboring West African country Niger.
"We were able to rescue 15 people alive," Sokoto Federal Road Safety Manager Alfred Adeboye told Reuters.
Traffic
accidents are commonplace in Africa's most populous nation, where roads
are often narrow and pot-holed due to under-investment and
mismanagement.
