ABRAKA DELTA: ONE STUDENT KILLED IN GHASTLY AUTO CRASH AFTER FAILED OVERTAKING

One female student lost her life after a failed overtake attempt led to a deadly collision along the along the Abraka-Urhouvie road, Abraka.
A student has died in an accident that occurred near Double Delight Eatery along the Abraka-Urhouvie road, Abraka, Delta state at the weekend.

It was gathered that the student was killed when a Toyota Hilux van rammed into a commercial bus before the overhead bridge in Abraka. The student reportedly died on the spot while the other four passengers and the driver in the bus sustained injuries.

One of the victims said that the driver of the Toyota Hilux caused the accident after his attempt to overtake failed. After the Double Delight Fast Food, a Toyota Hilux was coming from the opposite direction, I noticed he was about overtaking a Jeep, but there was not enough space for the Hilux to balance itself so it was unable to return because the Jeep was on high speed, and there was no space for him to pass through, and all of a sudden what was heard was a blast, and I saw myself on the ground.”

He said a "Good Samaritan" rushed them to the General Hospital in Abraka where they received treatment. He confirmed the death of the student. The girl on my left hand side died on the spot. Information reaching us is that the driver died two days later," he said.

The deceased student may be a student of the Delta State University (DELSU, Abraka which has its main campus located at Abraka.

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...
