They were laid to rest yesterday in their seminary community house at Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom State.

The six philosophy seminarians named Michael Nwafor, Emmanuel Okoli, Emeka Osisiuri, Joachim
Erhimeyoma, Emmanuel Agbo and Emmanuel Adah, of St. Joseph Major Seminary, Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom died in a motor accident with eleven others sustaining various degree of injuries.

The Vincentian philosophy students were travelling from Ikot-Ekpene, Akwa-Ibom State to attend a compulsory human development programme scheduled at Enugu. But unfortunately, this could not be as one of the two 16-seater buses conveying them had a burst tyre at Otu-Ozara just a few kilometers away to their destination.

Requiem mass held in their honour at St. Joseph Major Seminary, Ikot Ekpene. Internment followed at Blessed Michael Ghebre Community House, Abiakpo, Ntak Inyang in Akwa Ibom state.

May their souls rest in peace, Amen.
