From Joseph Amedu, Lokoja

A devastating and fatal accident has claimed the live of Mrs Kemi Emmanuel, a female lecturer with the Federal University, Lokoja.

Mrs Kemi Emmanuel in the tragic incident, was said to have been crushed to death by a trailer along Felele road in Lokoja, yesterday evening.

Our Correspondent gathered that the victim, who has been identified as Mrs. Kemi Emmanuel, serving as a well-respected and admired lecturer in the Department of Theatre Arts, was confirmed dead at the scene of the accident, leaving a void in the hearts of her loved ones and academic community.

According to Information reaching Our Correspondent “This heartrending occurrence has brought to light, once more, the mounting concern over the increasing frequency of accidents involving heavy-duty trailers along the heavily-trafficked Felele axis. Local residents and students of the area have voiced their concerns and are actively urging the Kogi State Government to implement immediate and strategic actions to prevent further tragic losses of lives in similar incidents.

“It has been strongly suggested that there be a regulation put in place, restricting trailers from navigating through the city during the day, potentially allowing them to move only after the hour of 9:00 p.m. This change is proposed with the aim of mitigating the risks associated with high traffic, ensuring greater protection for commuters, students, and residents who regularly frequent the vicinity of Felele.

“In this sorrowful moment, we extend our deepest condolences. May the soul of the late Mrs. Kemi Emmanuel find eternal rest, and may divine solace and peace surround her grieving family, colleagues, and students as they navigate through this anguishing and painful period. Let us all hope for more proactive measures to curb such tragedies in the future”
