On the evening of May 15, 2026, a tragic accident occurred in Ogbunabali when a man who was teaching his girlfriend to drive lost control of the vehicle, which then crashed into a shop.
The collision claimed the lives of three children belonging to a woman identified as Esomonu aged 10, 4, and 3 all of whom died on the spot.
In the devastating aftermath, the grieving mother was left to gather her children's bodies from the road herself, enduring the unimaginable ordeal of collecting her son's intestines with her bare hands.
Adding to her anguish, she alleged that the man and his girlfriend involved in the accident have remained free, and that the police have shown little urgency in pursuing the matter.
An emotional video she shared has since circulated widely on social media, drawing an outpouring of public anger and calls for justice.
The incident has also reignited broader conversations about road safety, accountability, and the treatment of victims in the wake of traffic accidents across Nigeria.
