ASABA—Two teachers, and a National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, member, yesterday, lost their lives when the bus they were travelling in had an accident at Amukpe, close to Sapele in Delta State.
It was gathered that the teachers were returning from their place of primary assignment in the rural area, when the bus they were travelling in at Ugbeku, in Sapele Local Government Area, Delta State, suddenly skidded off the road, with two of the teachers dying on the spot.
One of the survivors, Mr. Julius Esemuede, who was in tears, said: “We had just veered off the way and was heading to Amukpe in Sapele, when we suddenly saw the driver struggling with the bus and the next thing I knew, the bus somersaulting.”
The dead NYSC member, identified as Adewale, was said to have lost his life at the Delta State University Teaching Hospital, Oghara.
This is coming barely one week (March 24) after a bus conveying members of Association of Nigeria Conference of Principals of Secondary Schools, ANCOPSS, to a meeting at Kwale in Delta State, was involved in an accident along Mosogar-Oghara Road in Delta State, with five principals losing their lives.
Teachers, who had assembled, yesterday, at the Central Hospital in Sapele, called for prayers.
“It cannot be happening like this. In a week we have lost seven members and an NYSC member,” a female teacher, who was crying, said.
Others accused the Delta State Government of frustrating teachers, saying “now that another two have died, let him declare a year public holiday.”
