the aftermath of the tragic accident that occurred on Saturday, May 3, at Ikwette community near the Obudu Ranch Resort, Deputy Governor of Cross River State, Rt. Hon. Peter Odey, has paid a heartfelt visit to the injured survivors.

 

The accident, which happened in Obanliku Local Government Area, claimed the lives of six individuals and left seven others injured, following the reported brake failure of a commercial vehicle transporting tourists from the ranch.

On Sunday afternoon, the Deputy Governor arrived at Sacred Heart Catholic Hospital in Obudu, where the injured are receiving treatment. He expressed deep sorrow over the incident and offered condolences on behalf of the state government.

“This is a painful loss for all of us,” Rt. Hon. Odey said. “We pray that God comforts the families of the deceased and grants them the strength to bear this irreparable loss.”

He assured the victims of the state government’s full support throughout their recovery process and prayed for their quick healing, offering words of comfort and encouragement.

 

The Deputy Governor also pledged that the bereaved families would not be left to face the tragedy alone, emphasizing the administration’s commitment to supporting them during this difficult time.

He took a moment to commend the swift intervention of emergency responders, including Nigerian Army personnel stationed at the Ranch Resort, for their rapid and effective action at the scene of the crash.

 

Accompanied by clergymen, government officials, and guided by medical personnel, Odey visited the wards where the victims are being treated.

 

According to eyewitness reports, the accident occurred as the vehicle, descending from the Ranch Resort, lost control while approaching a sharp bend at the Ikwette community, a steep area located at the base of the Obudu hill. Brake failure is suspected to be the cause of the tragic incident.

 

The state continues to mourn the loss of lives and prays for the full recovery of the injured.
