I was one vehicle behind the wreck of AJs car and I can confirm that the @FRSCNigeria officers were on the scene in about 5 mins. They arrived on foot running because a build up of cars had blocked access to the wreckage.
They extracted AJ from the car and removed the bodies from the road and cleared traffic in about 10 minutes. They did very well.
