In what will come across as a really horrific development, two friends were on Saturday, burnt to death in a ghastly accident along Katsina-Dutsinma road.

The accident occurred at about 3pm on Saturday afternoon, December 5, when their Toyota Camry crashed and burst into flames.

Two of the friends have been identified as Dr. Sadiq Yahaya Zakka, a medical doctor who recently graduated from a university in China and was preparing for his mandatory National Youth Service, and Auwal Shehu Danfaranshi.

A friend of the victims, Serdeeq said one of the occupants of the vehicle identified as Fahad survived and is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital.
