An accident occurred on Friday evening in the Emene suburb of Enugu East local government area, Enugu State, resulting in the deaths of three passengers and leaving two others critically injured.

SaharaReporters learnt that a heavy-duty truck carrying laterite collided with a mini bus at Orie Emene Junction around 7pm.

The mini bus, carrying seven passengers and the driver, was travelling from Old Park to Emene when the incident happened.

Although some passengers managed to jump out, three were crushed to death, and two others sustained severe injuries.

Eyewitnesses attributed the accident to the truck driver's actions, questioning what could have caused him to lose control, as there was no apparent speeding or brake failure.
The incident has raised concerns about road safety and the need for responsible driving practices.

"We cannot even believe what happened here this evening. It is still inconceivable because this is a busy junction. Although the current administration has removed all the bumps the previous administration puts on the road to checkmate speeding, the truck was coming to the junction from the Adoration road which has some obstacles before getting to the junction," one of the eyewitnesses, who simply identified himself as Okechi Michael stated.
He added, "Before approaching the junction the truck crossed railway line just about a pole to the junction. So the truck wasn't on speed and it couldn't have been brake failure because the driver just crossed the rail line and rammed into the bus.

"The police have arrested the driver of the truck, I hope they will not collect money from the construction firm and let him go. The truck driver needs to be thoroughly examined and charged for manslaughter or first degree murder. These three passengers he killed with two others still critical need justice."

An Air Force personnel who participated in the rescue effort efforts, decried the incident wondering what might have gotten over the truck driver.

If you believe this, you will believe anything.

Music legend Mike Ejeagha, at the impressive age of 94, has achieved a remarkable milestone by entering Apple’s Top 100 Songs chart, 41 years after the release of his iconic track.

The song, Ka Esi Le Onye Isi Oche, is a traditional Igbo folklore that tells the story of an elephant and a tortoise released 41 years ago. It becomes the oldest song of all time to appear on the charts.

The resurgence of Ejeagha’s song is largely thanks to Nigerian comedian Brainjotter, who created a viral dance routine that brought new attention to the classic track.

The dance quickly caught on, leading to a renewed interest in Ejeagha’s music.

Adding a personal touch to this success, Brainjotter visited Mike Ejeagha to celebrate the achievement and showed his appreciation by presenting the legend with a generous cash gift of 2 million naira.

This heartwarming story not only highlights the enduring appeal of Ejeagha’s music but also demonstrates the power of modern social media to revive and celebrate timeless art.

As the song continues to gain popularity, it’s clear that Mike Ejeagha’s legacy remains strong and influential.

Hi Dad

I don't have a son that I don't know of.

Kids born in this millennium will not realize what this stuff is. They will think it is blue garri? Do you still remember this detergent that was very popular in the 80s and 90s?

There was a great relief on Thursday when eight schoolchildren returning from an end-of-term party escaped death as a truck loaded with tractors fell on the two cars they were travelling in.

The accident occurred in the Lokongoma market along the Okene-Kabba Road in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital.

Our correspondent who visited the scene of the accident reports that all eight schoolchildren were successfully rescued from the two crushed vehicles, one Mitsubishi with registration number Abuja RSH 241 FH and one Corolla with registration number Kogi LMA 190 AA parked in front of the owners.

Among the early callers to the accident scene were the Secretary to the Kogi State Government, Dr Folashade Arike Ayoade, the State Security Adviser, Commander Jerry Omadara, the Commissioner for Information, Kingsley Fanwo and the state Federal Roads Safety Corps commander, Sunday Samuel Oyedeji, who coordinated the rescue operations.

PUNCH Metro gathered that the lucky children had been taken to the state Specialist Hospital for medical check-ups before they were released to their families.

Meanwhile, the Kogi State Government has vowed to prosecute the driver of the truck for failing to latch the container onto the truck.

The corpse of a missing commercial motorcyclist, identified as Nasiru Eneojo, has been found in an well in Agbarho, Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.

SaharaReporters gathered the deceased was declared missing on June 29, 2024.

The victim’s remains were reportedly found on July 10 in a well at an abandoned filling station along Agbarho-Ughelli Road with some of his body parts missing.

A source who spoke with SaharaReporters on Tuesday alleged that local vigilantes in Agbarho murdered the victim, removed his body parts and stole his motorbike.

The source said a suspect was arrested after some residents, who knew with the deceased’s motorcycle, sighted it with the new rider and alerted the police immediately.

According to the source, after interrogation by the police, the rider disclosed that he had no link to Eneojo’s death but the motorcycle was handed over to him by a Delta Taskforce officer.

The source said, "This incident happened at Agbarho, a town under Ughelli North in Delta State. The local vigilantes of Agbarho murdered a bike rider from Kogi State, who was a new motorbike rider in the town.

“After murdering the guy, they dumped his body in a soakaway at an abandoned filling station along Agbarho-Ughelli Road with some of his body parts missing.

"They stole the bike but luck ran out on the guy who stole the bike. When the guy who brought the bike rider from Kogi spotted the bike at Orido junction at Agbarho, he called for help. The new rider was taken to the police station in Agbarho but the police are unwilling to arrest the other suspect whom he said was involved.”

"Several chiefs in the community have gone to seek bail for the suspect but a soldier from Kogi insisted for the bail should not to be granted and for the case to be transferred to Asaba. The case was transferred to Asaba yesterday (Monday)," the source added.

The Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, Bright Edafe confirmed the incident to SaharaReporters on Tuesday, stating that three suspects connected with his death have been arrested.

"The body was recovered from a well, three suspects connected with the death have been arrested. They are in our custody, while investigation is ongoing," Edafe said.

A lecturer of the Benue State University, identified as Dr Ichor was caught on camera molesting a student of the university. This leaves us wondering what the student might have done to warrant such public abuse in a higher institution of learning.

At the moment, efforts are being made to get the attention of the authorities of the university and other notable indigenes of Benue State to see that the act of the lecturer does not go unpunished, in order to curtail such practices in future.

I am sure this type of act would not even happen in Europe in 1910.

Hollybratt:
Hey chap
You deserve a cold bottle of heinekens
Here again, no matter how nice you are, never borrow people your phone on the road to make call.

That's a recipe for disaster, man.

Thanks bro.

We grow and learn...

1. Don't take financial advice from poor people. If they had better financial knowledge, they would have scaled through the level they are.

2. Your colleagues at work are not your friends. They are your colleagues and that's who they are. Nothing more.

3. The essence of hustling as a young man is to save and invest and not to pay bills. Paying bills can never make you grow. They are recurrent expenditures in Economics.

4. If you don't make use of your brain, there is always someone around that will make use of it for you. And just guess how they will use it...

5. If you want to remain a struggling man for life, get stuck in a Nigerian private school. Have you ever seen a financially buoyant private school teacher before?

6. Marrying a bad woman is a free visa to the destruction of a man.

7. A woman you love is lesser than the woman who fits into your dreams. Marriage goes beyond love.

8. People who usually introduce themselves as highly religious people are the worse hypocrites. An upright man doesn't need to announce his uprightness. People sense it.

9. Association is not by force. If certain people do not align with your lifestyle, give them a very long distance. Don't manage people, else you jeopardize your dreams.

10. As a young man, be careful with women. You don't want to end up training another man's future wife.

What are yours folks?
