Tragedy struck the Ebem Ohafia community in Ohafia Local Government Area of Abia State on Monday as two prominent indigenes lost their lives in separate fatal road accidents.
The victims were identified as Mr. Thompson Kalu and Mr. Uma Orji, popularly known as “Ome Ego.”
Kalu was killed on Sunday night when a truck operating without headlamps rammed into his motorcycle. He sustained severe head injuries and died on the spot before he could be taken to the hospital.
On Monday morning, Uma Orji died in a single-vehicle accident when the truck he was driving suddenly crashed and fell on him.
At the time of filing this report, neither the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) nor the Nigerian Police Force had issued official statements on the incidents.
The deaths have sent shockwaves through the community. The paramount ruler of Ebem Ohafia Ancient Kingdom, Ezie Ukoha Kalu, the Ezie-in-Council, and the Ebem Ohafia Development Union (EODU) described the losses as “profoundly shocking and tragic.”
In a statement signed by the Public Relations Officer of the Ebem Ohafia Development Union, Mr. Ifeanyi Okali, the community expressed deep sorrow over the passing of the two men.
“The unfortunate incidents have thrown the entire Ebem Ohafia community into mourning, as the deceased were hardworking and responsible individuals who were striving daily to provide for their families and contribute meaningfully to the society,” the statement read.
The community is currently in a period of mourning as residents grapple with the sudden loss of the two sons of the soil.
