Rivers: Container shoves cars into river on East-West, four feared dead

Four people have been reportedly killed after a 40ft container fell on Aleto bridge, around the Eleme axis of the East-West road in Rivers State.

 

The container was said to have knocked two smaller vehicles, into the River.

The Rivers State police command is yet to comment on the incident. CONTINUE READING……………………………………
