[Shola Sholaz]

A female official (names withheld) of Imo State Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, was, at the weekend, crushed by a tipper lorry, just  as Governor Rochas Okorocha expressed deep shock over the tragedy that befell Umudagu, Ihitte Isi Mbieri community in Mbaitoli local council area, on Thursday night.
.
The Mbieri tragedy followed a torrential rain that was accompanied by thunder, lightening and a ferocious windstorm, which pulled down a huge tree known as Osisi Ukwu Uko and claimed lives. Okorocha described the incident as "a very sad natural disaster" and wondered why some elders in the community resisted previous efforts made by some people to cut down the tree before it claimed scores of precious lives. "This is a very sad natural disaster. I wonder why some elders in the community resisted earlier moves by some people to cut down the tree before it claimed lives and brought untold anguish to many families", the governor said.
