A tragedy has hit a family in Eket town, Eket Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State as it lost five members in a road crash while they were returning from a church conference in Lagos.

The accident is said to have occurred along Ovie River road in Edo State along the notorious Benin-Asaba Expressway claiming five lives from the same family who were returning from a conference organised by the Salvation Army Church in Lagos.

Those who lost their lives included two brothers, a wife of one of them, a little girl who travelled with her parents and an unborn child as the deceased lady was pregnant as at the time of her death.

Samingo Etukakpan, head of the bereaved family who lost all the five family members, lamented the tragedy the family has been thrown into describing it as a “great moment of grief.”
Etukakpan said: “It is a moment of grief for me and my family. This is indeed a bitter pill to swallow, losing five members of my family and my daughter in-law who was equally pregnant but I pray God to console me and members of my family as it is too hard for us
