TRAGEDY: 20 Kano Athletes, Officials Die in Fatal Crash After National Sports Festival

A dark cloud has fallen over Nigerian sports as at least 20 athletes and officials from the Kano State contingent lost their lives in a tragic road accident on their return from the 2024 National Sports Festival, held in Ogun State.

The incident occurred on Saturday at the Dakatsalle bridge, approximately 50 kilometers from Kano. The victims were reportedly traveling in a coastal bus that swerved off the road while on a bridge, leading to a devastating crash. The cause of the accident remains unclear, but disturbing videos circulating on social media show the wreckage and the aftermath of the crash.

Out of the 30 passengers on board, 20 have been confirmed dead, with reports indicating that a journalist is among the casualties.

This heartbreaking event has sent shockwaves through the Nigerian sports community, turning what was meant to be a triumphant return from the nation’s biggest sporting event into a period of deep mourning.
