The Priests; Rev. Father Innocent Inwek and Rev. Father Michael Omongha of Our Lady of Lourds, Cross River University of Technology, were travelling from Akamkpa to Aba, Abia State when they met their death. Eye witnesses told Vanguard that the cleric who died along with three students of the school were crushed by a dumper truck when the lorry left its lane and ran into the priests' car which was travelling in the oposite direction. It was learnt that the clergymen had just left the campus a few meters away on their way to the commercial town of Aba to purchase musical instruments for the Parish of the University which is an arm of St. Theresa’s Church Mbarakom and headed by Fr. Inwek. One of the priests, Fr. Omongha was ordained only last year and was the assistant parish priest of the campus church. He died on November 11, 2004 and would have been exactly one year as priest onNovember 12, 2004. The head of one of the student victims was was already severed from the body they were deposited at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital Mortuary. Also the impact may have caused the truck to go up in flames as it was found razed at the scene of the accident. Vanguard gathered that the Calabar-Akamkpa highway records over six accidents weekly, most of them fatal, due to the narrow highway which is constantly plied by heavy duty vehicles, such as petrol tankers, trucks and other heavy duty vehicles.   Home  |  Cover Stories  |  National Newsreel  |  Politics  |  Business  |  Sports  |  World  | Contact  | Advert Rates © 1998- 2004.
