**Tragedy Strikes in Delta as Six-Year-Old Schoolgirl Meets Her Demise in a Shocking Accident** In a heart-wrenching incident, a six-year-old schoolgirl, Oghenekome (popularly known as Kome), lost her life after being knocked down by a construction tipper truck in Delta State. The tragic event has sent shockwaves through the community, leaving residents in a state of mourning. Kome was a bright and lively child who was loved by everyone in her family. She was the youngest of three siblings and was known for her intelligence and friendly nature. On the fateful day of the accident, she was walking back home from school with her 10-year-old sister, Glory, when the unthinkable happened. As they walked along MCC Road in Enerhen, a community in Uvwie Local Government Area, Kome lost her grip on something she was carrying. She bent down to pick it up, unaware of the approaching truck. The driver of the Julius Berger branded truck, which was part of the Enerhen Junction flyover project, failed to stop in time and knocked Kome down, running over her in the process. The incident occurred on a Monday evening, and the community was left in shock. The construction firm, Julius Berger, has been carrying out intensive work on the road as part of the flyover project aimed at linking a drainage system. The project has been ongoing for some time, and residents have been complaining about the lack of safety measures put in place to protect pedestrians. The family of Kome is still reeling from the shock of her sudden loss. Her parents and siblings are struggling to come to terms with the tragedy, and the community is in mourning. This incident serves as a reminder of the need for greater safety measures to be put in place to protect pedestrians, especially children, in areas where construction work is ongoing. As the investigation into the incident continues, the community is calling for greater accountability from the construction firm and the authorities to ensure that such tragedies are avoided in the future.
