Tragedy struck in the industrial town of
Nnewi, Anambra State yesterday when a hit-and-run driver crashed three
children of the same parent to death along Ichi Road at about 2.00pm.
The children a male and two females were
rushed to the Nnamdi Azikiwe Teaching Hospital Nnewi for medical
attention by sympathisers but were pronounced dead when they arrived the
emergency ward of the hospital.
The stricken parents of the dead
children, Francis and Amara who were seen at the hospital premises were
too dumbfounded to talk about the tragic incident.
But a close family relation said the
first born, Kosi who was aged eleven and his two sisters were coming
back from a school where they had gone for holiday lessons before they
were crushed by an alleged reckless driver on the ever busy
Nnewi-Onitsha Road.
There was uproar at the NAUTH premises
after the incident as mammoth crowd trooped to the hospital to behold
the lifeless bodies of the three children before they were deposited at
the hospital morgue.
Another family relation who spoke with
our source on grounds of anonymity said that they were perfecting
arrangement for the release of the dead bodies so that they can go and
quickly bury them before it becomes too late as there was no need to
keep them in the mortuary.
