An indigene of Ukum Local Government Area of Benue State, Aondona Andrew Adure, was crushed to death outside Eagle Square, Abuja, on Saturday.

His younger brother, Mathias Adure, who confirmed the incident to Daily Trust in a telephone chat, said the deceased had closed from work and was trying to cross to the other other lane when the sad development occurred.

He said Aondona, who was in his 50s, left behind his wife, without a child.

According to Mathias, the woman who killed his elder brother ran to the police who were on duty nearby to report the incident, adding that the police had since taken custody of the car.

He said, “It’s a black day for me. As I speak, my mother is in the mortuary in Benue. Now, by elder brother has joined her. It’s actually a trying time for me. What is more painful is that he died without having a child.

“One of his colleagues in the same company who also left office saw a crowd around the Eagle Square and decided to take a walk, on reaching there, it was my brother that he saw.”

Similarly, the leadership of Ukum Family Association in Abuja, in a statement signed by Gabriel Akiirga I, confirmed the development, saying, “It’s our prayer that God Almighty will grant the deceased eternal rest and give his family the fortitude to bear the loss.”

The man’s corpse has been deposited at the Asokoro General Hospital.
