Baby Falls Off Mum’s Back On Okada, Crushed By Truck

 

A heavy duty truck, conveying crates of soft drinks, yesterday, at the Okorodafe Roundabout in Ughelli, Delta State, crushed a four-month-old baby girl, who had fallen off the back of her mother travelling on a commercial motorcycle, popularly known as Okada, Vanguard reports.

According to witnesses, the mother of the baby, who is in her 30s and simply identified as Ese, was said to have been struggling to adjust the wrapper with which she strapped the baby to her back, while the Okada was in motion. Continue after the cut....

One of the witnesses, identified as Efemena Okiemute, told Vanguard that the baby fell on the middle of the road and was immediately crushed by the truck, which was directly behind the Okada.

This is very very bad, I think a  law should be made that prohibits women from carrying their new born babies while boarding a bike. This is not the first time this is happening and I don't see it as the last until the law is been passed...
