Sixteen accident victims of Saturday’s truck crash in Mangu, Plateau State, have been discharged. 13 were discharged from Nici Dominus hospital; two from Infinity Hospital and one from Nanret clinic.

Three patients are still on admission at Nici Dominus hospital- one had undergone surgery and is reported to be in stable condition while one was referred to the Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) which continues to attend to the highest number of injured persons – it has 29 from Saturday crash and 16 from the Bisichi bus accident which was conveying persons to Shendam for the Southern Zone campaign kick-off last Tuesday.

A statement by the Director of Media and Publicity of the Atiku-Okowa/Mutfwang-Piyo Campaign Council, Yiljab Abraham, said surgeries have continued to be performed on those seriously injured, while the rest are stable and recovering well.

At the Mangu Cottage hospital, many families have continued to claim the bodies of their loved ones for burial.

He added: “The rescue operation was carried out by FRSC ambulances and an emergency response team stationed on the Jos-Bauchi Route, and by officers and men of the FRSC Jos By-Pass Unit Command.

“Injured victims were taken to the Plateau Specialist Hospital and Toro General Hospital, while the dead were taken by their relatives for burial.

Super Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala was on target as Al Hilal produced an impressive 4-0 away victory over NEOM, with fellow Nigerian international Christy Ucheibe also featuring in the convincing performance.

Sports247 reports that Oshoala continued her contribution to Al Hilal’s attacking campaign by finding the back of the net in the 65th minute, helping the visitors strengthen their advantage in a dominant display.

The Nigerian forward’s goal came during an impressive second-half performance from Al Hilal, who added three goals after the interval to complete a comprehensive victory.

Moroccan forward Ibtissam Jraidi opened the scoring in the 11th minute, giving Al Hilal an early advantage before the teams went into the break.

Oshoala doubled the visitors’ lead in the 65th minute before Manar Al-Anzi made it 3-0 just four minutes later.

Jraidi then completed her brace in the 88th minute, sealing the emphatic 4-0 result for Al Hilal.

Christy Ucheibe, Oshoala’s Super Falcons teammate, also played a part in the victory as the Nigerian duo continued to make their contributions to the Saudi Arabian club.

The result represents another important outing for Al Hilal, with the team’s attacking quality evident in the performance against NEOM.

For Oshoala, the goal provides another opportunity to demonstrate her goalscoring ability and importance at club level. The six-time African Women’s Player of the Year remains one of Nigeria’s most recognisable football exports, and her performances continue to attract attention.

The presence of both Oshoala and Ucheibe in Al Hilal’s squad also highlights the growing influence of Nigerian players in women’s football outside the country.

With the emphatic away victory secured, Al Hilal will look to build on the performance in their subsequent fixtures.
