A timber trader and eyewitness of the incident, Mr. Augustine Akomaye told CrossRiverWatch that “A group of tourists from the Federal Capital who were caught in the mudslide could no longer go up the mountain and were scared of using the cable car. They had to be airlifted by Air Force helicopter to the heights.
