The man, who identified himself as John said that the first responders, who rushed to the scene stole the victims’ mobile phones and cash. He also said he lost his phone while trying to rescue them.
He said, “It’s so bad we could do this to ourselves, some people rushed here pretending as if they were helping us to bring out the bodies of those involved in the accident only for them to steal their phones and money. Even my phone was taken away, I gave it to someone while trying to rescue them but the person ran away with it.”
