A bus conveying Madonna students home crashed and caught fire, leading to the death of at least 8 students, IGBERETV reports.

The accident occurred at TTC/Special Science School junction along the trans-Saharan road in Abakiliki, Ebonyi State.

The occupants of the bus were said to be traveling from Port Harcourt to Taraba State when they crashed on the evening of Saturday, February, 18.

The students were returning home ahead of the upcoming general elections. One of the victims has been identified as Grace Usman Ezra.

Photos from the scene show the charred remains of victims sticking out of the burnt bus.

A hospital staff took to Twitter to reveal that many of the victims are in the burns unit or the Accident and Emergency unit at the Alex Ekwueme Teaching Hospital and they are “all in pains.”

Those students who managed to jump out of the burning bus reportedly suffered multiple fractures, the hospital worker said.

It is well.
However, God is not constrained to save by multitude or few.

I'm confident God wants to humble politicians by helping Peter Obi

Islandlady:


I can't believe you will still bring politics Into this heartbreaking trend!?

R.i.p to the dead

Naira20:
Didn't you see #Obidients in the news?
What did you think it's meant to do?

As sad as it is, many still die without travelling for elections.

Islandlady:
Y'all are just insensitive...This election should just come and go already abeg!

femisplash:
Why risk the lives of these students for an election. There are friends and colleagues that will never allow their kids back home. Majority of the students registered at home while on strike but were in school althrough the collection periods, as soon as PVC collection expired, NUC asked them to go home for election. It makes absolutely no sense when majority wouldn't vote anyways. Fuel and naira crisis have even made traveling messier.

Students vote abroad too.
Leave your cave and travel
It's unfortunate it happened to them
But stop saying what you don't know

femisplash:

Are you okay upstairs?, can you vote outside your polling unit?

Naira20:
Oga, Life is risk.
Besides, it's this useless APC government that forced most of them to register at home during the 8months strike

Viscuz:


Shatap

Travel from your cave and see how things are done .

As far you are a citizen everything can be fixed not your shit hole

femisplash:

Check your brain, dude. If that was possible in Nigeria, nobody would be traveling to their respective polling units. You're just one proud illitetate.

Naira20:
Oga go and sit down.
I deliberately answered you that way to expose your hypocrisy.

I know you are one of the BATstards here on NL.

So no one is deceived.
Many more OBIdients will travel and vote against APC.Deal with that

Viscuz:

Travel out from your cave cursed urchin.
And stop using Nigeria as a case study for engagement

femisplash:

Where is election taking place, Nigeria or abroad?
Receive sense, Mr. illitetate.
