Players and officials of Kwara United FC of Ilorin monday lent helping hands to some accident victims they ran into on their way from a Match Day 20 fixture in Jos against Giwa FC.

According to the club's Media Officer, Olayinka Owolewa, the team arrived on the scene few minutes after the accident happened few kilometres away from Jere, a town in Kaduna State with the club's doctor, Umar Yahaya, attending to the victims.

While Yahaya was attending to the victims who were largely young girls, some of the players were controlling traffic while others helped carry the victims inside a vehicle conveying them to a nearby hospital for treatment.

There were however some other players who were so shocked at the sight of the accident that they could not come down from the team's vehicle and were seen holding their heads with sad expression all over their faces.

Kwara United lost 1-0 to Giwa FC in Jos on Sunday to a strike by Super Eagles' Helong Charles just four minutes into the second half to pick the maximum three points at stake.

The Ilorin-based team will lock horns with Dolphins FC of Port Harcourt in a Match Day 21 NPFL game in Ilorin on Wednesday.
