It was complete tragedy yesterday at Okpoko Junction, near Upper
Iweka area of Onitsha, Anambra State, when a hit-and-run driver knocked
down a yet to be identified pregnant woman, who died instantly.
The incident, according to an eye-witness, occurred at about 4 p.m.
when the pregnant woman was hit by an over-speeding vehicle as she
tried to cross the busy express way.
The source added that the Federal Road Safety officials attached to
Onitsha Unit Command later removed her corpse to a nearby hospital
mortuary where it was deposited.
One of the eye-witnesses and National Publicity Secretary of
Campaign for Democracy, CD, Dede Uzor A. Uzor, who spoke to newsmen,
described the incident as tragic and called on both the federal and
Anambra State governments to build a pedestrian fly-over across the
ever-busy Okpoko junction to avoid more lost of lives and properties
within that axis.
