Tragedy occurred in Ebonyi State at
the weekend as a minibus conveying
eleven passengers plunged into a
mining pit located at Enyigba
community in Ikwo Local
Government Area of the state.
DAILY POST gathered that the
bus,which was fully loaded with
passengers, took off from the popular
motor park known as Ochi-Udo
motor park located along Afikpo
road in Abakaliki, capital of the state.
The number of passengers are yet to
be identified at the time of filing this
report, although it was further
gathered that the occupants are
majorly Ikwo indigenes who were
returning home from the capital city,
Abakaliki.
A reliable source told DAILY POST
that the bus reached Enyigba
community where people were
mining and the driver lost control of
the steering and it plunged into a pit
filled with water.
An eyewitness who equally spoke
with DAILY POST, said the occupants
of the bus are still inside the mining
pit, adding that up till now, “the bus
is yet to be recovered due to the
level of water inside the pit.”
Meanwhile, all efforts to reach the
spokesperson of the Ebonyi police
command, DSP Loveth Odah for
confirmation at the time of filing this
report were fruitless.
