Husband And Wife Perish In Autocrash by pure123: 3:19pm On Apr 17, 2013
One of the most shocking stories of the tragic accident involving a Young Shall Grow luxurious bus and aDangote cement truck was that of Nneka and Kenneth Ojielo, a couple who died in the accident. Theirs is a story that will bring tears to many eyes because Kenneth had not seen his wife in thelast 10 years until Thursday, the day before they both perished in the explosion.
“My sister travelled to Lagos from Enugu on Wednesday. On Thursday, I took her to the airport to welcome her husband. No one could separate them when Kenneth eventually came out with his luggage. They kissed for about 15 minutes and everybody around just stood watching.”
Nneka’s younger brother, Ogonna Abako, told Punch that “Kenneth travelled to Austriain 2003 in search ofgreener pastures. Before he left, they already had five children. Their eldest child is 21.
“They actually got married very early. Kenneth was 26 years old when they got married while my sister was about 20 years old at the time. Everybody was joyous when we heard he was coming home."
A picture of the joyous reunion taken by Ogonna’s wife on her mobile phone at the airport showed a couple with much happiness written all over their faces.
But that joy was short-lived.
On Friday, they decided to travel to Enugu. Kenneth wanted to meet his children as soonas possible. The children too were ecstatic in Enugu as they kept calling, asking theirfather, whom they had not seen in thelast 10 years, to get home on time.
Ogonna said, “I drove my sister and her husband to a hotel and lodged them there.The following day, I woke up early to take them to the bus park. We got toJibowu and realised that the Ekene bus they wanted to take had already left.
“I wanted them to take a smaller bus, but Kenneth insisted he would rather board the luxury bus.”
The couple held hands in the bus and prayed for journey mercies as Ogonna bid them farewell, not knowing it was for the last time. He said he called his sister’s phone at 3pm but it did not connect. He thought there was at network problem.
“When it was 6pm, my sister’s eldest child called and said she had not seen her parents. I then asked my brother to go to the Young Shall Grow park in Enugu. He was told there that only two of the company’s buses took off from Lagos that day, one from Maza Maza and one fromJibowu.
“Many families were waiting for their relations at the park too. The bus that took off from Maza Maza got to the park and that was whenthe passengers broke the news of the accident to waiting families. Those children will never see their father and mother again,” Abako said as he dabbed at his teary eyes.
Worse is the fact that their bodies cannot be claimed by their family members for burial as they were burntbeyond recognitionand were therefore given a mass burial on Tuesday in Benin.
So sad!
May Their Soul Rest In Peace.
Prayer:
Father in the name of Jesus Christ, we pray for every member of this page Relationshipsand Dating, we shall Live and not die, accident will never be our portion, we shall live to see our children children. You will will guild and protect us from all forms of evil in Jesus name we pray "Amen"
I know for sure God has taken charge of our lives.
