Simi reacting to the terrible news took to Twitter to lament how the terrible system and lack of proper structures in Nigeria facilitate such incidents.
In her words;
Tragedy on tragedy. It’s too much. The family of these kids must be devastated. People dying for things that can be 100% avoided. These damn trucks. Driving reckless, without lights, over loaded. But they do it because this dirty system allows them. It’s too much.
