Six Died, Several Injured In Ghastly Car Accident In Warri

Yesterday morning, March 17, a ghastly motor accident took lives of six persons and several others were seriously injured in Warri, Delta State.

This accident had been described as the worst in recent times since the January auto crash in which 16 persons were burnt to death in a Delta State-owned shuttle bus along the Petroleum Training Institute (PTI) Road in Effurun.

It was gathered that the occupants of the car, who were mainly youths, were coming from a night outing when the incident happened.

According to the report, the vehicle was coming from the Okuokoko axis, approaching the popular Delta Steel Company (DSC) Road, when the driver suddenly made a U-turn to go to the other side of the road an action that led an on-coming vehicle crashed into the car.

The victims of the car accident were removed with the help of axes and iron rods, as the car broke into two due to the intensity of the impact of the crash. The victims were rushed to a nearby hospital, though, some of them died before the rescue operation began.

As there was a gridlock on the road, several vehicles were destroyed by an angry mob which also capitalised on the confusion to rob people at gunpoint.

ALLEGED BRIBERY OF APPEAL COURT JUDGES IN DELTA JUDGMENT: A Disservice To The Rule of Law

Deltans have expressed deep concern over troubling allegations of bribery against judges of the Delta State Governorship Appeal Court, whose judgment was recently delivered in Lagos State. In a widely circulated leaked audio, Hon. Daniel Mayuku, a senior member of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and a former three-time member of the State House of Assembly representing Warri South West constituency, can be heard making disturbing claims. Mayuku stated in the leaked audio that three days before the pronounced judgment of the Appeal court, the Delta State PDP knew that the judgment favoured Ovie Omo Agege based on facts and available evidence. They allegedly used financial inducement and blackmail to influence the change of the judgement in favour of the PDP governorship candidate, Sheriff Oborevwori, against the true picture of the case. Mayuku in the leaked audio claimed that the Court of Appeals is highly corrupt and expensive, and that the Appeal court is the only place they

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove
