Maltida Duncan



On-Air Personality, Matilda Duncan, narrowly escaped death after an official of the Federal Road Safety Commission caused an accident that made her car somersaulted several times.

The FRSC official was said to have absconded from the scene of the accident.

Narrating the incident in an Instagram post, the OAP’s brother, Mofe Duncan, alleged that an FRSC rider stopped Maltida, Thursday, October 19, 2017, on her way from the bank around financial district Abuja, for holding her phone.

He said Maltida stopped at his request and asked why she was being stopped. The FRSC rider said she was holding her phone and when Maltida asked him if it was a crime to hold her phone without using it, he said, “No but you were holding it.”.

He wrote, “Yesterday around 1:30pm, my sister was involved in a road accident caused by FRSC unit. As she left the bank around financial district Abuja, she was flagged down by an FRSC rider, she stopped and asked why she was being stopped, he replied “You were holding ur phone in your hand.

“She replied “For real, please I am late for work, since when as it been a crime to hold your phone? Was I using the phone?”. He replied, “No but you were holding it.”

Duncan said his sister navigated away from the rider to continue her journey but he blocked her path and began to hit her window, forcing her to stop.

Maltida refused to stop her car insisting that the rider should follow her to the office to sort out things.

The FRSC rider refused, double-crossed her at a bend and applied his brakes. Matilda swerved to avoid him, hit the curb and her car somersaulted.

“The rider then double-crossed her on the bend and applied his brakes, Matilda had to swerve to avoid him and she hit the curb and her car flipped twice. Immediately this happened, the rider and the unit took off. FRSC…

“Federal Road Safety…. ROAD… SAFETY… ran, leaving the mangled car with my sister and her P.A. inside.

“They ran. If not for onlookers who rushed to get them out, I wonder what my narrative would’ve been.

“She is fine. @matilda_duncan is alive and well, shaken up but no fatal injuries. Whiplashed from the seat belt and slight headaches from the tumble of the car but God is good and merciful.

“She and her P.A. walked out unscathed. This is the decadence of our authorities, endangering the lives of people for a miserly N2000 you might receive if you’re lucky. WHY? It is well, God pass them.”
