He said, “At a point during the journey, Pam started disturbing everybody. He became loud, unruly and uncontrollable.

“As we approached the area after Fadan Karshi, Pam suddenly jumped out of the window. The driver stopped and we all rushed to see if he was alive. He was lucky to have sustained fractures on his legs and arms; but it was very serious.”

Pam was said to have been handed over to his wailing relatives on arrival in Jos.
