It’s October 1 today, exactly one year since Mr. & Mrs. Donatus Arua, a trailer driver with Julius Berger and indigene of Obukpam, in Nsukka Local Government Area, Enugu State lost their two sons: John Chidera Arau (11) and Paul Onyekachi (7), his nephew, Ambrose Onyeme Ozioko (27), and Alfred Ona (32), from Obollo, Udenu Local Government Area, Enugu State, two young men he took as adopted sons, in the bomb blasts close to Eagles Square, Abuja last year.

While the families of NYSC members, who lost their lives during the April polls elections, have been compensated with N5 million, the Araus said despite the visits of Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, Senator Ayogu Eze and the then Minister of Aviation, Mrs. Fidelia Njeze-Akuabata, assuring him of their intervention to ensure they were compensated, nothing has been heard from them, neither have government officials bothered to get in touch.

They said that aside the assistance got from Julius Berger and their town union in Abuja, Nkalagu Obukpa Progressive Association, for the burial of his sons, nothing else has been forthcoming.
Arua said during the course of the burial plans, he was made to visit a number of offices and the court to get documents that would enable him to claim the compensation. He revealed that an official of the FCDA, who was a member of the committee set up by government, had informed him that they had recommended N500, 000 compensation to the injured, while families, which lost dear ones were to be given N3.5 million. But to date, nobody has got back to them.
