Residents and road users have raised fresh concerns over the state of the River Katsina-Ala bridge in Benue State, urging the Federal Government to intervene quickly to prevent a possible disaster. Photographs circulating on social media show a heavy truck that appears to have overturned or tilted dangerously on the bridge, with its cargo of pipes scattered and the road surface marked by large puddles.
Several posts highlighted the risk to commuters and nearby communities, with one user stating that prevention is always better than waiting for disaster to happen. The writers called on the Federal Government to assess and address the situation swiftly before it develops into a serious danger. Another post linked the bridge’s condition to broader concerns about road safety in the area, describing the Gboko-Ugbema Road as another deathtrap and appealing for divine protection for business people who use the routes daily.
