In a statement signed by his media aide , Orum Desmond on Tuesday, said : “The Executive Chairman of Oguta Local Government Area, Hon. Ifeanyi Nnani, has received with a heavy heart the news of the accident that took away the lives of over 10 persons from Agwa Community along Onitsha-Owerri Road this evening on their way back home to Agwa after their successful Jehovah’s Witness Assembly Convention at Uli, Anambra State.

“Oguta Local Government Area has once again witnessed another dark moment, very tragic and sorrowful.

“These pathetic incidents have once more reminded the people of Oguta, and Agwa, of the intense sorrow that took away the lives of Agwa people suddenly in the past.

“While consoling the entire Agwa Community over the loss, the Executive Chairman also wants to, in a special way, extend his profound condolences to the immediate family members that suddenly lost their beloved ones to these unforeseen circumstances.”

Nnani prayed for strength and comfort for the bereaved families, adding: “May God Almighty comfort and provide for the immediate families, and strengthen them, mainly during this dark and mourning period.

“May their souls and the souls of other faithful departed, through the mercies of God, rest in peace. Amen.”

Similarly, The Mazi Progressive Network (MPN), through a statement signed by its Media Coordinator, Ralph Ibe, also expressed grief, while the Renaissance Oguta Constituency (ROC), in a separate condolence message by its Convener, John Uchenwoke-Epkerechi, urged both the federal and state governments to urgently fix road infrastructure in the state to prevent avoidable tragedies.
