A truck carrying sand crashed into the main gate of the Gombe State Government House on Tuesday, causing extensive damage to the multi-million-naira structure.
The incident occurred around 12:55 p.m., when the driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle before veering off the road and ramming into the gate, which is part of an ongoing renovation project under Governor Muhammadu Yahaya.
Eyewitnesses described a chaotic moment as the truck approached at speed before crashing. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, as pedestrians quickly moved out of the way.
A security aide confirmed that the impact significantly damaged the newly installed gate, bending parts of the structure.
Officials also confirmed that no lives were lost in the incident, though the extent of the damage underscores concerns about road safety around the area.
