Culled from VANGUARD;
The Aleato family has been thrown into sorrow following the murder of
their 26-year-old daughter, Onyinyechukwu, last Saturday by her
ex-boyfriend in Lagos. The deceased, a sales girl at Alaba International market, Ojo, was
reportedly trailed by her ex-boyfriend, Osita Amanunwa from her Iba new
site abode, to Ajangbadi area of Lagos, where she had gone to visit a
friend. Crime Alert gathered that the late Onyin, as she was fondly called, sat
outside her host’s compound, exchanging banters, without the slightest
inkling that death lurked at the corner.
GOVERNOR AKPABIO RESCUES ACCIDENT VICTIMS
Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Godswill Akpabio, joined officials
of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) to rescue victims of an accident that
occurred on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Saturday, 20th Jan. 14 people were seriously
injured when the tyre of a commercial Volkswagen bus
burst while on top speed. The accident happened just in front of the Redeemed
Christian Church of God (RCCG) Camp and Governor Akpabio’s envoy, on his way to
attend a reception for Chief Obasanjo in Abeokuta, was just behind the bus when
it somersaulted. He immediately stopped to rescue the victims before the FRSC Mowe Unit arrived the scene.
The governor even followed the victims to Olabisi Onabanjo
Teaching Hospital (OOUTH) in Sagamu and gave them N500, 000 for their
treatments. He also gave the FRSC team N200, 000 for their responsiveness.
This is definitely worth emulating by our leaders. Akpabio is the governor with largest heart in this country. I live in Akwa Ibom, so I know.
