A STORY THAT WILL TOUCH YOU, COUPLE WHO DIED IN TANKER EXPLOSION ALONG ORE ROAD.

 
 This is one touching story i have ever read. Please read the story of Nneka and Kenneth Ojielo who were victims of the tanker explosion involving a luxurious bus along Benin- Ore road. Read more after the cut.




From what i heard, Kenneth had not seen his wife in the last 10 years until Thursday, the day before they both perished in the explosion .Nnneka's Sister had this to say:
“My sister traveled to Lagos from Enugu on Wednesday. On Thursday, I took her to the airport to welcome her husband. No one could separate them when Kenneth eventually came out with his luggage. They kissed for about 15 minutes and everybody around just stood watching.”

Nneka’s younger brother, Ogonna Abako, told us that “Kenneth traveled to Austrian 2003 in search of greener pastures. Before he left, they already had five children. Their eldest child is 21.
“They actually got married very early. Kenneth was 26 years old when they got married while my sister was about 20 years old at the time. Everybody was joyous when we heard he was coming home.”

A picture of the joyous reunion taken by Ogonna’s wife on her mobile phone at the airport showed a couple with much happiness written all over their faces,But that joy was short-lived.

On Friday, they decided to travel to Enugu. Kenneth wanted to meet his children as soon as possible. The children too were ecstatic in Enugu as they kept calling, asking their father, whom they had not seen in the last 10 years, to get home on time.

Find below the Brother's account of the story:
Ogonna said, “I drove my sister and her husband to a hotel and lodged them there.The following day, I woke up early to take them to the bus park. We got to Jibowu and realized that the Ekene bus they wanted to take had already left.

“I wanted them to take a smaller bus, but Kenneth insisted he would rather board the luxury bus.”
The couple held hands in the bus and prayed for journey mercies as Ogonna bid them farewell, not knowing it was for the last time. He said he called his sister’s phone at 3pm but it did not connect. He thought there was at network problem.

“When it was 6pm, my sister’s eldest child called and said she had not seen her parents. I then asked my brother to go to the Young Shall Grow park in Enugu. He was told there that only two of the company’s buses took off from Lagos that day, one from Maza Maza and one from Jibowu.
“Many families were waiting for their relations at the park too. The bus that took off from Maza Maza got to the park and that was whenthe passengers broke the news of the accident to waiting families. Those children will never see their father and mother again,” Abako said as he dabbed at his teary eyes.

The bodies of those involved could not be identified as they were burnt beyond recognition. A mass burial was conducted for them in Benin. So painful.
