Briefly after having fun at the West Nile Night, 17 of our members decided to use a seven seat-er vehicle to be dropped home. According to police sources, when the vehicle reached Ntinda trading center, our brothers and sisters branched off towards Nakawa. Hardly had they reached Ntinda Police Post, the car lost controll and skidded for 150 meters, before crushing, and in the process, three people died instantly and other 3 died on their way to Hospital. Your leadership was informed and we took charge of the situation together with James Nyakuni. We identified the bodies as follows; Rashid Juma, Isaac Edobo, Washington Agondua, Babua Dan, Innocent Yoti and Imran Abdul. 9 other persons were critically injured and two sustained minor injuries. One person is in critical condition and the rest have stabilized. West Nile Foundation contributed 1,000,000/= towards burial and funeral expenses. We mobilized all in all around 3,000,000/=, James Nyakuni gave us a bus which we fueled to take relatives to Arua. Nyakuni also assisted us in taking two bodies that of Washington and Isaac. Mean while Eng. Juma assisted us in taking the bodies of Rashid and Imran. We purchased coffins, and other materials for all the deceased persons. We reserved the balance of our collections for subsidizing medical expenses for the injured. The bodies of Innocent and Babua were not taken to Arua by us because of mutual understanding between us and the parents. The following were the injured;Opio Vincent, Ezaru Isaac, Jackie Aseru, Inid Akwiachwan, Okello Moses, Ombilia, Aron Francis, Anguzu Abraham, Anguyo Moses and Abeli Denis. We managed to contact all the relatives. It was tragic but we tried our level best. We need prayers for those injured and will update you on any other development pertaining to those who sustained injuries.
