In a heartbreaking incident, Comrade Solomon Nya, the Director of Sports for the University of Cross River State (UNICROSS) Students’ Union Government, along with two of his colleagues, lost their lives in a car accident.
The accident occurred on the evening of May 1 in Odukpani, located on the outskirts of Calabar. Several others were reportedly injured, with some sustaining serious injuries.
“The SUG President is unconscious as I speak with you now. He is in the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital emergency unit, and he prays he makes it.” An eyewitness told Vanguard on the phone.
The source said some of the female victims had their limbs cut in the crash, while the bodies of the director of sports and the others who died on the spot have been deposited at the mortuary of the UCTH.
This is a very sad event. We pray the SUG President makes it because he was severely injured in the accident.”
The school is yet to react to the incident, ostensibly because yesterday was a public holiday and today, Saturday, is a weekend.
