A family of three died in a car crash along the Mabushi Bridge in Abuja on Wednesday, after the driver had an altercation with some louts, resulting in the crash that killed the family instantly.

Abuja Breaking News correspondent gathered that the touts had stopped the private vehicle for flouting their rules by reportedly stopping to pick up a passenger who was a relative.

The refusal of the driver to pay the “fine” angered the touts, who then hopped in the vehicle, dragging the steering wheel and eventually causing the accident.

Subsequently, angered passersby who witnessed the scene chased down the touts, eventually setting one of them on fire, and severely injuring the other two, who were rescued and rushed to the hospital by the police.

A parallel account, however, claimed that five persons were involved in the crash – a family of two and three touts who forced themselves into the vehicle while it was in motion.

Eyewitnesses said the vehicle then collided with a painted taxi, near the Mabushi bridge, before veering off the road into a ditch.

The family reportedly died on the spot, while the three others were rescued and taken to the National Hospital for treatment.

The National Youth Service Corps has released the official timetable for the 2025 Batch ‘B’ mobilisation, with key dates announced for prospective corps members.

According to the schedule shared on X on Thursday and its website on Wednesday, “online registration for foreign and Nigerian-trained graduates will take place from 8th to 13th September, 2025.”

For graduates trained abroad, the “pre-camp physical verification of credentials” has been fixed for 14th to 18th September, 2025.

The ICT Department is expected to handle its processes between 17th and 20th September 2025.
Corps-producing institutions will begin the online printing of deployment and delivery of physical call-up letters from 21st to 23rd September, 2025.
In the same period, PCMs can also proceed with the notification and printing of call-up letters.

The timetable concludes with the much-anticipated 2025 Batch ‘B’ Stream II Orientation Course, which will follow the call-up phase.

The NYSC urged all prospective corps members to follow the dates closely to ensure a smooth mobilisation process.

NYSC is a mandatory one-year program for Nigerian graduates under 30, designed to foster national unity and give young people practical work experience by posting them to different parts of the country.

It includes a 3-week orientation camp, a primary assignment, and community development service.
