An unidentified vehicle has plunged into a mining pit in Enyigba community, in the Ikwo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.
“And suddenly, the car fell into one of the mining pits full of water very close to the road. It was like a dream to me while I followed the car a little distance away from behind.
“I quickly stopped other vehicles from both sides to observe the true position of the accident and while we observed more closely, we discovered much wave of the water due to the fall but could not sight the car nor the passengers. “I quickly rushed with another private car owner to the mining company to report the accident and seek for urgent rescue but the rest were more of protocols which could not render an immediate help.
“Who were the passengers in the car? Whose relatives were they? How could we rescue their dead bodies after about 40 minutes of no immediate solution. And when shall that particular pit and others close by be covered with earth? I was shocked and also wept at the ugly sight. May the LORD repose their souls, Amen.”She said the police contacted local divers who tried all their best to rescue the bus or its occupants, but that was not successful.
