Please, share this story:
A fatal road accident occurred at Ise Ekiti, Ekiti State on Sunday claiming three lives and many others sustained serious injuries.
The Pathfinder reporter gathered that the accident occurred at Afolu after Ise Ekiti involving a Toyota 18-passenger bus belonging to Saint Mark’s Anglican Church, Ise Ekiti.
The occupants of the bus were mostly women and members of St Mark’s Anglican Church, and it was gathered were going to Ado Ekiti to participate in an annual enrollment service.
One of the bus tyres busted and the driver instantly lost control of the vehicle and rammed into a motorcycle rider and proceeded to hit a mango tree at the roadside and the bus tumbled.
Three of the women were said to have died on the spot; among them is an evangelist who just got married a few weeks ago and also the wife of former Ise/Orun local government, Hon Adegbola, while others who sustained injuries were rushed to the hospital where they are currently receiving treatment.
The Anglican Bishop of Ekiti, Rt. Rev. Andrew Olusola Ajayi, in his reaction, commiserated with the families of those who lost their lives and St. Mark’s Anglican Church, Ise Ekiti, and prayed that God would heal those injured.
Speaking with newsmen, the Chairman of Ise Local Government, Hon. Bamikole Ayodele, mourned and expressed his heartfelt condolences to the vicar of the church, Ven. E.T. Babalola, and the entire members of the church.
