Many people were sad on Sunday night as a
saloon car marked Abuja FT 490 ABC rammed into a lady and killed her along the
Federal College of Education Technical, Asaba, the Delta State capital.
Eye witnesses said that the
incident, which occurred at about 6pm, was caused by over speeding by the
driver of the car.
The witnesses said that as a
result of the over speeding, the driver lost the control of the car, skidded
off the road and rammed into the girl. She died immediately. The incident, it
was learnt occurred two weeks before the deceased’s wedding.
The driver was rescued from the
car unhurt by sympathisers.
The deceased, who was
identified as Miss Ifeyinwa Okeoma, was a member of the National Youth Service
Corps (NYSC) serving at the Federal College of Education, Technical, Asaba. She
hailed from Anambra State.
Speaking with National Mirror in
tears, her colleague, who was brandishing the deceased’s wedding invitation
card already distributed to friends, well wishers and others, described her as
a promising and easygoing person.
The marriage was scheduled for
May 5, 2012. Her body has been deposited at the mortuary of the Federal Medical
