Digging Deep
The victims are Wofai, Bella, Peace and Amaka and yet-to-be named driver.
Bella and Wofai died on the spot. Amaka and Peace are in the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH).
While Amaka is still in coma, Peace sustained a high degree of injuries – broken leg, broken hand and face badly injured. However, she can talk and remember things.
The driver who dislocated his leg is also hospitalized and currently on bandages. Though he is not badly injured, he is currently undergoing X-ray in the hospital.
Finding from CrossRiverWatch gathered that the driver is Wofai’s boyfriend. She sat in the front seat with her boyfriend during the shuttle.
Bella, Wofai, Peace and Amaka all live in the same apartment at N0: 15c Ikot Uduak off Timber Market, Calabar.
Wofai, Bella and Amaka are all students of University of Calabar (UNICAL). Wofai just signed out a few days ago from the varsity.
Peace is a student in the school of Nursing, Calabar.
As early reported, they were returning from a birthday party but a deeper finding reveals that they were returning from a club party located at Atekong and headed to a hotel at Mobil axis.
There were about five of them from the same house that were set to embark on the party but one – Berry was left behind because others dressed before her and couldn’t wait.
There are about six ladies in the same apartment. While Wofai, Bella, Peace and Amaka went for the party and Berry left behind, Mary went to meet her boyfriend.
CrossRiverWatch further gathered that the four victims all hail from Yakurr LGA.
The white coloured GLK 350-4 Matic Benz is just a few months old.
