The Benue State Sector Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps(FRSC), has cautioned motorists against speeding to avoid the consequences that follow it.

Confirming the accident to journalists in Makurdi on Wednesday, the Sector Commander of FRSC, Steve Ayodele, said eight people were killed in the crash.
