“Unfortunately we lost the bride and the groom while some others are at different stages of medical conditions.

Those that died in the accident, according to the church included Brother David Ewere Ajayi(unit P.R.O); Sister Marvelous Okosun(bride); Brother Theophilus Eze(groom); Mr. Good luck Osayande(Vice Chairman Parish Pastoral Council), while others sustained serious injuries, and are currently receiving treatment at a private hospital in the city.

“May God grant quick recovery to those in the hospital and may the souls of the Departed through the mercy of God, rest in peace. May God give the family, friends, the choir and the entire CATHOLIC community the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.”
