The vehicle, which was carrying thirteen individuals including a Reverend Father who led the tour, lost control as it descended the steep terrain just outside the resort’s premises, resulting in the deadly accident.

Emergency responders, including personnel from the Nigerian Army stationed at the Ranch, arrived swiftly at the scene to provide aid and transport the injured to nearby medical facilities. Efforts are ongoing to contact and support the families of all victims.

In a statement issued shortly after the incident, Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Nsa Gill, expressed the government’s deep sorrow over the tragedy.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of the victims during this incredibly difficult time,” he said.

Gill confirmed that the state government is in contact with the Enugu Catholic Diocese and has pledged to provide every necessary form of assistance to the affected families.

While investigations are still underway, preliminary assessments indicate brake failure as a likely cause of the accident.
