Abuja residents descend on beer from fallen truck

There was panic on Thursday around the popular Berger roundabout in Abuja when a truck loaded with beer was involved in an accident.

Shortly after the accident, some residents around the area and passersby were seen drinking the beer that fell off the truck.

The incident happened around 4 pm on Mabushi and Berger expressways.

The truck veered off the road as the driver lost control.

The incident also attracted the attention of some Abuja “Big Boys” with exotic cars and SUVs as they hurriedly pulled over and joined in the “wining”.

The scene was almost turned into a carnival as dispatch riders, Bolt and Uber drivers temporarily suspended their trips to partake in it.

Many residents were seen going home with crates of beer while others brought buckets and filled them up.

Some of them claimed the management has been ordered by the company to allow people drink the contents to avoid waste.

Some road safety officers were on standby to tow the truck away.

No life was lost in the incident.
