*ADC Chieftain in Edo Commiserates with the Grieving Parents of the Ekpoma Accident**

 

A chieftain of the ADC in Edo State, and two term Owan West LGA Chairman of Owan West, Hon Daniel Asekhame, has commiserated with the family of the two, just-graduated students of the Ambrose Alli University, who got involved in a fatal accident in Ekpoma yesterday.


The unfortunate incident happened along  the Benin - Auchi road in Ekpoma. The students, who were  celebrating their graduation from the University, collided fatally with a stationery truck on the road. 


Hon Asekhame, who himself is a graduate of the Ambrose Alli University, said he empathises deeply with the parents of the students, one of whom have been confirmed to have passed on, while the other one is in critical condition at a hospital. He acknowledged that they will almost be inconsolable at this point, but urged them to take heart and submit to the situation they have found themselves in at this time. He prayed that God would grant them the courage and fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.


The ADC chieftain also used the occasion to advise young ones to be a bit more careful in these precarious period of their lives. "Youths should act with greater restrain and curtail exuberance to barest minimum, because the days are fragile " He  counselled.
