The latest incident has villagers demanding that speed bumps be placed on the Guinea Grass Road. One person wrote on Facebook, “The village council needs to do better, as bumps are urgently needed in the village. People drive within the village like it’s a free way.”

Another wrote, “How many more people have to die so they can put pedestrian ramps up? How many more children have to be run over by drivers who do not respect the speed limit in the village?”
