Thursday, 9 March, 2023, was a day Aina Oreoluwa was bubbling with life as she left her home in Isolo area of Lagos to the Lagos State Government Secretariat, where she was serving as a Youth Corps member.
She never had the premonition that she would never return home alive again!
Aina, serving with the Lagos State Ministry of Education, boarded the ill-fated BRT, the staff bus taking her and about 84 others to the government secretariat.
She never made it to the secretariat alive, her corpse was deposited at the mortuary and all her dreams thwarted and shattered; her life was cut short at her prime!
All of a sudden, it happened, a loud bang was heard, the BRT she boarded was hit in the middle and dragged by a train to some distance. Unfortunately she was among the unlucky dead victims.
On Friday, Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu paid the family of the deceased corps member a visit to console with the family.
The governor commiserated with the mother of the deceased at her residence and prayed God to grant her the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
May the soul of Oreoluwa and others that lost their lives in the unfortunate accident rest in peace.
