The driver involved in an accident that destroyed Mandinaba mosque minaret may lose an eye, said an eye witness. Amadou Jallow, a journalist and resident of Mandinaba, said the truck was coming from Senegal and upon arrival at Mandinaba, the breaks failed and the steering wheel got locked.
“That driver lost control, knocked the mosque and the minaret fell on the truck which was carrying cattle.
According to Jallow, the villagers slaughtered four cattle but the remaining thirteen died on the spot.
“Thank God the women who sell at the road side were not present and the worshipers also left the mosque.” Jallow:
The driver and three others who were in the truck all sustained injuries, but the driver sustained more severe injuries, he may lose an eye due to the gravity of the accident The villagers Jallow added are soliciting support to rebuild the mosque.”
