Here is what the ex-secretary general of the SUG,,precious erhiabo had to say about the situation.
"It hurts

The solution is this, we take up diggers and shovel to that road tomorrow, no one will tell the government to take over and either construct a flyover or make speed break.

The SUG can take this up tomorrow being a public holiday. We all should be there because volunteers are needed too.

Rest in peace to one of ours, it could have been you or me."
