“The driver of the tipper was trying to manoeuvre his way when he noticed he could not control the vehicle.
“The police were on the road stopping the tipper.’’
Mr Jafaru Wakili, another witness, said that when the FRSC personnel arrived at the scene, an angry mob descended on them and chased them away.
The FRSC spokesman, Mr Bisi Kazeem, confirmed the incident, saying a tow truck deployed to the scene was attacked by the mob.

“FRSC Corps Marshal frowns at the occurrence which also involves civil defence and Police.
“He has ordered that perpetrators of the act should be fished out and dealt with appropriately.”
