Speaking emotionally about the tragedy, the mother accused authorities of attempting to ignore the case.
“This is the cry of a mother who lost her three kids due to careless driving. I lost my three children and they are trying to sweep the case under the carpet. The Nigeria Police are not saying anything about the case,” she said.

“Every morning, my alarm still wakes me up to take my kids to school, but when I wake up, there is no longer a child by my side,” she added.
