Taraba State was plunged into mourning on Sunday following a tragic motor accident that claimed the lives of six members of the state chapter of the Women Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (WOWICAN).
According to reports, the accident occurred as the victims were travelling from Gembu, the administrative headquarters of Sardauna Local Government Council, to Jalingo, the state capital. They had been returning from a conference that concluded on Saturday in Gembu.
The victims, who were travelling in an 18-seat bus, met with the fatal accident, leaving the entire community in shock and grief.
