Tragic as Abia Poly Graduate, Ogechi, Reportedly Dies In Fatal Accident, After Clearance.
Miss Mary Ogechi Ezekiel was on Tuesday, March. 5, crushed by a fast-moving tanker in front of the institution.
Ogechi had reportedly graduated with a first class from the department of accounting in Abia State Polytechnic. She then visited the school for academic clearance, in preparation for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme.
While leaving the school after carrying out the clearance, she exchanged pleasantries with her colleagues and then expressed joy that she would soon be mobilized for NYSC.
Moments later, she was reportedly “hit by a tricycle while trying to cross to the other side of the road. Before she could get up, she was then crushed by a fast-moving truck,” a source wrote on Facebook.
Ogechi, who was raised by her struggling mother, was said to have received a scholarship from an organization to do a post-graduate course before her sad demise.
