38-year-old bride- groom, Mr. Nze- kwe Chukwuemeka Barthlomew,
from Amekwulu village, Ezinifite in Aguata Local Government Area of
Anambra State yesterday, died in an accident on his way to Church for
his wedding ceremony.
Sunday Sun gathered that the late Bartholomew, a vulcanizer at
Oye Uga Junction in the same Local Government Area was being conveyed
on a high capacity motorcycle around 9:30am by his Best Man, one
Okwudili for his (Barthlomew’s) wedding from Uga to the church in
Ekwuluobia where the bride was already waiting for him.
Half way to Ekwuluobia, an eyewitness said, the two friends ran into a
stationary Camry car and the driver of the car suddenly opened the door
oblivious of the motorcycle coming behind reportedly on a high speed.
The groom was said to have died on the spot while his Best Man
sustained minor injuries. The police were said to have deposited his
corpse at a morgue while the Best Man was rushed to a hospital for
treatment.
Efforts to speak with the relative of the deceased including the bride proved abortive. The source told Sunday Sun that the door hit hard on the bridegroom who landed on the tarred road hitting his head against the hard surface.
