April 14, 2017, was no ordinary night in Ebonyi. It was a night painted in blood and sorrow.
Two separate road crashes. Six lives lost. One of them – Professor Robert Nneli, Dean of Basic Medical Sciences at FUNAI – a man whose brilliance was silenced in seconds.
The accidents struck between 9pm and 11pm on the Abakaliki–Enugu highway. The cause? A deadly cocktail of reckless speeding, raging rain, and zero caution. Vehicles mangled. Lives shattered. Dreams buried.
Eyewitnesses say the road looked like a war zone. And yet, every year, the same story: bad roads, bad driving, broken hearts.
Today, we remember. Not just the lives lost… but the lessons ignored.
