The small community of Anguwar Baiyi in Toto LGA of Nasarawa State was rocked by a tragic incident that left a family devastated and mourning the loss of three young daughters. The Ozakwo family, well-known and respected in the area, was struck by a senseless act of recklessness that claimed the lives of Nusaiba, Maryam, and Rumaisa, three teenage sisters full of life and promise.
The incident, which occurred on a fateful Friday afternoon at around 4 pm, sent shockwaves through the tight-knit community. Saidu Alhassan, a close family member, recounted the heartbreaking events to City & Crime, shedding light on the devastating impact of the tragedy. The girls had ventured out to visit their uncle’s wife, a short distance away from the ohinoyi’s palace, a routine Sallah visit that ended in unimaginable tragedy.
As the sisters made their way back home, walking along the shoulder of the road, a speeding Toyota Corolla driven by a drunk driver, identified as Ya Zakari, careened out of control and ploughed into them with deadly force. The sudden loss of the three siblings sent shockwaves through the community, prompting an outpouring of grief and anger at the senseless loss of young lives.
The grief-stricken father, Suleiman Ozakwo, struggled to come to terms with the untimely deaths of his daughters, expressing a profound sense of loss and sorrow. Despite his pain, he found solace in faith, urging others to pray for the souls of his beloved daughters to find eternal peace.
In the aftermath of the tragedy, the perpetrator was apprehended by authorities and taken into custody for his reckless actions. A police officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the driver was intoxicated at the time of the incident and would face legal consequences for his deadly actions. The community, reeling from the loss of three bright young souls, demanded justice and accountability for the lives cut short by a moment of senseless violence.
As the community mourned the loss of Nusaiba, Maryam, and Rumaisa, the tragic incident served as a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the devastating impact of irresponsible behaviour behind the wheel. The memory of the three sisters would live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved them, a poignant reminder of the preciousness of every moment we share with our loved ones..
