A ghastly motor accident has claimed the lives
of a pastor who was burnt to death and four
others along Ibusa-Ogwashi-Uku, while the
wife of the pastor is presently hospitalized.
Our reporter gathered that the accident
occurred on Thursday afternoon along Asaba-
Ogwashi road before Ibusa roundabout made
sympathizers to weep freely as a result of the
gory site.
One of the witnesses told Saturday Vanguard
that “it was terrible. We watched the Pastor
being roasted alive. Efforts to rescue him were
frustrated by the raging fire”.
The witness stated that the pastor while trying
to avoid a speeding tanker by the roundabout
veered into the bush but the same tanker also
lost control and rammed into his car which
caught fire instantly.
An offficial of the Federal Road Safety
Commission FRSC, Mr. Bassey who confirmed
the accident attributed the accident to
dangerous driving, saying that “the accident
involved a blue Mecedez Benz tanker with
registration number XE 892RSH and ash colour
Toyota Jeep with registration number EE 292
PHC. Seven people were involved which
include six males and one female.”
Saturday Vanguard gathered that the wife of the
pastor who was rushed to Ibusa General
Hospital was badly wounded. She was the one
who disclosed that one of the four dead
persons was her husband.
