… Injured hubby in critical condition
By Sampson Uhuegbu
A middle-aged woman, Mrs. Chioma Ogu, was on Monday, killed as truck, loaded with chippings rammed into their residential building.
The incident occurred at Iho in Ikeduru local government area of Imo state.
The deceased, a mother of three, whose injured husband is currently lying critically in the hospital, was said to be preparing for her late mother’s burial this weekend before she met her untimely death.
Statesman reporter, who visited the accident scene, gathered, from sources that the truck driver was allegedly sleeping before he lost control, veered off the road and consequently crashed into the building.
According the sources also, the incident occurred late Monday night, when residents of the area had already settled in their homes, and some already sleeping.
All attempts to reach the Police Public Relations Officer of the Imo Police Command, Henry Okoye, an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) were unsuccessful, as he did not pick his phone calls at the time of filing this report.
