Just four days after the disastrous petrol tanker accident killing over 70 people, another crash has just occured, killing two people this time at Ogidi, Anambra state, Nigeria.
According to an eyewitness, the auto crash occurred when an official of Anambra State Traffic Management Agency (ATMA) hit a commercial motorcyclist at Ugwu Nwasike Round-about, Ogidi.
It was gathered that as soon as the ATMA Sports Utility Vehicle hit the motorcyclist, the cyclist in turn, knocked down a passer-by (Emeka Ogbu), a senior prefect of Day Star secondary school, Ogidi.
Both the okada rider and the secondary school student died minutes after they were rushed to New Mayor’s Hospital, Iyi-Enu, Ogidi, a nearby private hospital.
The state commissioner for transport, Chuma Mbodu, however expressed regret that a government official and vehicle were involved in such an ugly development.
Confirming the accident, Ogidi Divisional Police Officer, DPO Hassan Musa, said investigation was on-going.
“That boy was a senior prefect of a secondary school at Ogidi and we sympathize with the family”, – the DPO stated.
SAD! May their souls rest in peace
