The 6 Catholic Seminarians Who Died In An Accident On Their Way To Enugu Buried (Photos)

The six Catholic Seminarians that died about 2 weeks ago in a fatal accident while on their way from Ikot Ekpene to Enugu have been buried. And here are heartbreaking pics from the very sad event. They were laid to rest yesterday in their seminary community house at Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom State.

The six philosophy seminarians named Michael Nwafor, Emmanuel Okoli, Emeka Osisiuri, Joachim
Erhimeyoma, Emmanuel Agbo and Emmanuel Adah, of St. Joseph Major Seminary, Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom died in a   motor accident with eleven others sustaining various degree of injuries.





The Vincentian philosophy students were travelling from Ikot-Ekpene, Akwa-Ibom State to attend a compulsory human development programme scheduled at Enugu. But unfortunately, this could not be as one of the two 16-seater buses conveying them had a burst tyre at Otu-Ozara just a few kilometers away to their destination.

Requiem mass held in their honour at St. Joseph Major Seminary, Ikot Ekpene. Internment followed at Blessed Michael Ghebre Community House, Abiakpo, Ntak Inyang in Akwa Ibom state.





 

May their souls rest in peace, Amen.

Our vechicles are NOT vechicles. They ARE coffins and when driven on the unkempt roads they become death traps. When will Nigerians ever be free from our poor maintenance culture. In other countries there would be a FULL SCALE inquiry into what happened - but of course not in Nigeria. The corruption in high places will never allow the truth to be told.

Who was responsible for the maintenance of the bus? When.was it last checked? How OLD were the tyres? Was the bus carrying people beyond its limit? Did potholes cause the tyre to burst? When was the road last maintained? Lots of questions.

May their souls rest in peace.
