No fewer than three persons who are indigenes of Ezza South
Local Government Area, on Tuesday lost their lives after the convoy of Ebonyi
State Governor, David Umahi, rammed into their motorcycle.
The victims were on Muhammadu Buhari’s international airport
road when an advance team rammed into them.
It was gathered that the convoy had dropped Umahi at the
airport located at Onueke, and was returning to town when the incident
happened.
The accident occurred shortly after the commissioning of a
flyover at Abaomege in Onicha local government area which was named after
Prince Arthur Eze.
The flyover was commissioned by Prince Arthur Eze, together
with the Governor Umahi.
It was gathered that the governor left for Abuja shortly
after the commissioning ceremony.
Prince Arthur Eze and the state deputy governor, Eric
Kelechi Igwe, however, stepped down at the accident scene and consoled with the
families of the victims, directed that the victims be rushed to hospital, then
zoomed off to Enugu State.
The motorcycle belonging to the victims and the Sienna
involved were destroyed beyond repair, though their names and the registration
number of the ill-fated vehicle is yet to be identified at the time of filing
this report.
When contacted for confirmation, the Sector Commander of the
Federal Road Safety Corps in Ebonyi State, Uche Chukwura said she is yet to be
briefed about the accident
