I don't know
if I should say this is the deadliest Christmas period I've witnessed...too
many deaths.
Just hours
to the Yuletide, a family of seven have been reportedly killed in a ghastly
motor accident at Taraku within Gwer local government area of Benue state.
An
eyewitness said that the victims were being driven in their Toyota car by their
father, identified as Mr. Vangeryina Agbose when the accident occurred. He
said, “the occupants of the ill fated vehicle were said to be coming from a
family farm when the accident occurred.”
He told
Vanguard that, “the car which had the man, his wife and five children including
a one year old baby were driving from the Taraku Oil Mill road and on reaching
the T-Junction he suddenly negotiated into the major highway probably without
taking notice of the oncoming Toyota Picnic.
“The entire
family members were instantly crushed to death, even their mother and the one
year old baby who survived the tragedy later died before getting to the
hospital.
“The
accident created so much tension in the entire Taraku leading to aggrieved
youths taking over the major road and the entire community in protest.
“It took the
intervention of law enforcement agency and people of good will who pleaded with
the irate youths to allow peace reign.”
