Tragedy as vehicle kills family of three, one other in Benin

Tragedy struck in the early hours of today around Uselu Shell area of Benin city, Edo state when a private vehicle rammed into four children killing all.

Uselu is a popular residential area of Benin, located along the ever-busy Benin-Lagos expressway, leading in and out of New Benin and Ring Road axis.

Our correspondent reports that the Community is currently on a lockdown following the unfortunate incident.

The vehicle, a BMW drove by a middle-aged woman, was said to have had break failures before ramming into the four children-hawkers.

Igbere TV reliably gathered that three of the four children are from one family, and the only children of their parents.

The incident happened exactly at the traditional ground in Uselu, which is put to use only during the coronation of a new Oba.

Community youths have taken over the major roads in protest, setting the vehicle ablaze and lighting up a burn fire on the expressway.

More details to follow...

UPDATE 1:

The police later came and shot sporadically into the air to disperse the angry youths who blocked the highway.

In the process, five persons among the youths were said to have sustained gunshot wounds; one in the shoulder, another in the chest and the last person beside the eye.

An eyewitness said the police left with two of the injured youths as they retrieved the four bodies of the victims and deposited them at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, UBTH.

UPDATE 2:

Igbere TV now gathers that the four killed are - a pregnant woman and her three children.

Sources said they were waiting for a bus when the vehicle rammed into them killing all the four instantly.

Another source has it that the car was driven by a man who has since absconded. His wife (passenger) is said to have been injured and recuperating at UBTH.

***
The government is said to have left all drainage systems around the Uselu Shell axis open after a clean-up exercise on the gutters.

The victims of today's accident were said to have taken to the ever-busy highway as alternative since the regular walkways have been blocked with muds removed from the gutters.

Break failure na one of the disadvantages of driving a car. E dey happen anytime even amidst regular checks. E pain me say the driver was just unlucky to kill the kids. Kids that shouldn't be selling by the roadside in the first place. May their soul rest in peace. My problem is why burn the car? As burnt offering? Or it will resurrect the dead? I just tire for my country people.

During my hustling days In Ibadan I managed to buy one Toyota Orobo. Master brake had issues I repaired instead of replace. The day wey ogun for kee na the day wey the brake fail. On top molete bridge I was going to beere. Match brake na fuuushhaaaa I hear. I begin to shibaraba santaribobo in tongues even though I know say the prayer no fit answer. Because na olosho I dey carry go drop for house and I no give her chingbain. I give her solid lamba with intention say as I drop I go zoom off. Brake fail I started thinking fast. Beere road is everyly busy. If I keep on people go die. One solid canal dey there. I been wan try James Bond jump out of motor after steering the car towards the canal. As I dey think am I see one very sweet god sent Micra dey drive out from nowhere. I no think am twice..... Skrrrrrree gbosaaaaa. I hit the car men. For my mind I was like we go settle am. Nobody die. The man came down. Me see come down but as sharp man I Don lie down dey beg already. E joor sir. E joor sir. The man anywhere he dey God go bless am. His micra had iron guiding for back. He just looked at his boot saw the little damage. Turned to me and said, "Now you're a man", and drove away.

I was shook visibly. Enter motor start am e start. Thank god. Match brake e work. Match am again e work. Olosho was nowhere to be found. I just turned around,drove home, parked by the road and put big pangolo on the car. Wetin I buy no go kill me.

Bottom line... 1.Check your car regularly.
2.If anything needs to be bought to fix the car buy.
3.If eventually brake fail find inanimate object ram and pray for the best.
4. No carry Ibadan olosho. If you carry pay her well.

People have formed this habit of lynching the driver or setting his car on fire after an accident. Sometimes I just wonder why Africans have the kind of peanut brains they ought not to have.

Considering the location where the accident occurred, I think the Obas have a hand in this. The gods needed blood. Op, was the lady lynched or she escaped?
