A serious accident killed two people on Thursday, December 11, 2025, in the 12 Poteaux area of Ngaoundéré. A moto-taxi rider and his passenger died after a truck hit them when the apprentice driver lost control while the main driver was away.
Authorities, including the prosecutor, arrived at the scene for investigations. The moto-taxi union also joined to help identify the truck driver. The two bodies, still unidentified, were taken to the regional hospital morgue. An investigation is underway.
People say many of these trucks move around without proper technical checks, while law enforcement officers regularly carry out multiple controls on riders. When riders have their documents, officers create problems, but when they don’t have 500 FCFA, they get slapped.
May their souls rest in peace. 🙏
