THIS IS JUST SO SO SAD

Painful.

Very terrible accident, some people are just not mentally capable of driving. The driver of the hummer was over speeding according to online reports and now all those life's are wasted.

RIP omo Edo

That incident is really a sad one.

May they rest in Peace.

Ok... Benin Aircrafts and Aviation Group of company don get dis ones.... From Spain to naija to be wasted....
Every power lurking around to waste us untimely, let the fire of God consume them like the priests of Baal in Jesus Christ name oooo

Painful.

Very sad...

for crying out loud, why flew all the way from Spain and decided to go to Benin by road. How much is flight cost from Lagos to Benin?

Whom the gods wants to kill they first make him deaf.

Is that brain am seeing in the 3rd picture?.. Damn..

Edo people... fear them... if they had secretly entered d town this wouldn't have happened... they probably must have told one or more relatives about their return and then u know d rest about Edo witches and wizards that hate success of their own blood relations talk more of friends .. rip to them.. painful exit..

Will they stop posting these gory photos already?!?! Why are Nigerian bloggers so heartless and insensitive? Always in a haste to shove horrible news and photos down our throats, not even an ounce of consideration for the loved ones of the deceased. They should be a way to report a tragedy without having to show graphic photos of the deceased.

Look at those idiots snapping the corpses without even showing an iota of respect for the dead.

For the moderators of Nairaland who post gory pictures in order to drive traffic to Nairaland, hope you know that you're breaching several NBC regulations and S.eun is personally liable for this.

Many Nigerians abroad don't have confidence in the local aviation industry. They feel that travelling by road is safer than dying by plane crash.

This is unfortunate

Village people is a goal

You that have excess sense why not talk your own

So much killing in this APC administration.

If people don't die by Buhari's and APC terrorists in sars and all others in government security head quarters. People die by worst roads conditions neglecting by terrorists in government.


May their souls sleep in peace.

This is very tragic and painful. May their soul rest in perfect peace
