Corper buried in Akwa Ibom weeks to passing out

The remains of Ngozi Onyekwere, 26, a National Youth Service Corps member at the Akwa Ibom State Government House, Uyo, have been buried at her home town in Nnarambia, Ahiara, in the Ahiazu Local Government Area of Imo State.

Onyekwere, an Accounting graduate from the University of Port Harcourt, who was to pass out from the national scheme in August 2016, died in a road accident at Uyo on June 23, 2016.

The victim was returning from her workplace at the government house when the crash occurred.

During a requiem mass at Saint Brigid’s Catholic Church, Nnarambia, Rev. Father Boniface Nwaigwe urged the congregation to always help humanity, especially those in need.

Nwaigwe, a professor and lecturer in the Department of Philosophy, University of Port Harcourt, regretted that people who witnessed the accident did not assist the victim by taking her to a hospital.

The cleric said rather than take the victim to the hospital, those who witnessed the accident were busy snapping the pictures of the accident and posting them on social media.
