A terrible accident happened on Friday evening in Delta State. A speeding vehicle hit and killed Mr. Paul O. Onota, a well-known lawyer who was loved in his community.
The accident happened around 3:58 p.m. near the Udu Local Government Council Secretariat. People around the area said the vehicle was going very fast at the time.
Mr. Onota was trying to cross the road when the vehicle struck him. The crash was so serious that his body was badly damaged, and he died instantly.
Lawyers in the Udu branch of the Nigerian Bar Association, where Mr. Onota was a member, are heartbroken and mourning his sudden death.
Okakuro Akpokona Omafuaire, who speaks for the Udu branch of the NBA, said the news was both shocking and painful. He described Mr. Onota as a calm and kind man who didn’t deserve such a tragic end.
He also explained that Mr. Onota had just returned from court the day before the incident. The news of his death has been hard to believe. He added that the driver responsible for the accident must be held accountable.
As of now, the Police in Delta State have not made any official comments. Attempts to reach the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, through calls and messages have not received a response.
