Shooting Incident Linked to VIP Convoy Claims Life in Abuja
By Zagazola Makama
A shooting incident involving a VIP convoy has left one person dead and several others injured along the Bwari-Dutse Road on the evening of May 5, 2025.
Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama that the shooting occurred shortly after a fatal motor vehicle accident involving a Daf Trailer Truck, which had rammed into five tricycles.
According to eyewitnesses, a VIP convoy was passing through the traffic gridlock caused by the accident when personnel from the convoy began firing sporadically into the air, seemingly to clear the way.
During the chaotic exchange of gunfire, one stray bullet struck Timothy John, a passerby from Dutse Baupma, in the chest. He was rushed to Kubwa General Hospital but was later confirmed dead by medical personnel.
The shooting incident has raised serious concerns about the actions of the VIP convoy personnel, who have yet to be identified. It is unclear whether the gunfire was intentional or the result of reckless behavior while attempting to manage the traffic situation.
The motor accident itself occurred at about 6:50 p.m. when a Daf Trailer Truck, having failed its brakes, collided with several tricycles. Eight individuals were injured in the crash and were taken to Kubwa General Hospital for treatment. Two victims succumbed to their injuries. However, the gunfire from the VIP convoy has now taken center stage, overshadowing the initial accident.
Authorities are conducting an investigation into both the shooting and the crash. The body of the deceased passerby, Timothy John, has been recovered and taken to Kubwa General Hospital, where an autopsy will be performed.
The shooting has sparked widespread concern, with many questioning the level of security protocol and the actions of those involved in the convoy.
The investigation is ongoing.
