A truck loaded with sand on Tuesday rammed into the main gate of the Gombe State Government House, causing significant damage to the structure.
The incident, which occurred around 12:55 p.m., involved a gate reportedly constructed as part of ongoing renovation projects under Governor Muhammadu Yahaya. The gate is yet to be officially commissioned.
Eyewitnesses said the truck lost control before crashing into the multi-million-naira facility.
“I was standing across the road when I saw the truck approaching at speed. Suddenly, the driver seemed to lose control, and the vehicle veered off and hit the gate,” said a trader, Musa Abdullahi.
