Nine wedding guests have died in a ghastly road accident in Igueben Local Government Area of Edo State, IgbereTV reports. ![]() The accident which involved a commercial bus belonging to Who Go Better Transport Company and a truck, occurred at Ekpon Junction, along the Agbor-Ewohimi Road on Saturday, April 24. IgbereTV gathered that the victims were travelling from Benin City to Ewatto in Esan South-East Local Government Area of the state to attend a wedding ceremony of their friend and relation. The truck loaded with cement rammed into the bus few kilometres to their destination. Out of the ten wedding guests, only one person identified as DJ Nasco, survived. ![]() One of the deceased have been identified as Constance Omoijade, a 2018 graduate of the Federal Polytechnic Auchi. The said survivor is currently in the intensive care unit of Shillo Hospital in Ewohimi, in Edo state, while the bodies of the nine persons who died at the scene have been deposited in the mortuary. However, the Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, Edo Sector Command, Henry Benemesia, who confirmed the incident disclosed that five persons died on the spot, while others were taken to the hospital and he was yet to confirm if they later died. An angry mob reportedly set the truck ablaze after the unhurt driver escaped from the scene. It was further gathered that the bride and the bridegroom, both from Ewatto, were devastated over the tragic accident. The wedding ceremony was disorganized as the couple who were already on the dancing floor heard the cry and wailing of other guests at the wedding venue when the news of the accident broke out. The wedding was said to have ended abruptly but not without the traditional dowry for the bride’s family. Ehis Success mourned Constance Omoijade on Facebook. Ehis Success wrote; "Rip miss Constance Omoijade"https://www.facebook.com/100004433742176/posts/1976862649138174/?app=fbl Praying for the lone survivor, Starbest AK wrote on Facebook; "Please pray for our talented brother DjNasco Real for a quick recovery form the hands of the enemies.

This is why I rarely go for all those long distance events like weddings and burials in far away states in Nigeria. It's an unnecessary risk considering the current disorganized state of the nation. I'd rather send a handsome sum of money to the event owners than to do eye-service and risk my life and my family's welfare. Imagine 9 lives wasted because of a wedding. It's not even a commensurate exchange. I'm sorry but they died for nothing! If I can't access the venue directly by air, then I'm sorry I'm not going. Bash me all you like. I also don't expect people to risk their lives for my own events. I'll understand. Shit, this brings back the awful memories of the Anyene family who lost a whopping 9 family members in the Dana aircrash while trying to attend a wedding in Lagos. 62 Likes 5 Shares |

![]() Sad that's why is always good to appreciate people who can stand up for you on occasion. Some people won't value your presence unless you give them money forgetting hitting the road for hours just to see be there for them is life threatening. Rip. 16 Likes 2 Shares |
