Deaconess Adedoyin Beyioku-Alase, the National President of Deaf Women Association of Nigeria (DWAN) said and I quote “Words fail me to describe my sorrow and pain at the tragedy that befell us at Deaf Women Association of Nigeria (DWAN) and the general Deaf Community in Nigeria on Saturday, 1st February, 2020”.
Recalling that DWAN lost three of their members in a ghastly motor accident in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State.
The deceased were:
1) Mrs. Bosede Azeez (DWAN, Ekiti State)
2) Mrs. Bunmi Oladimeji (DWAN, Ekiti state)
3) Mrs. Yemisi Adelodun (DWAN, Ekiti state).
Qualitative Magazine learnt that their member Nike Folayan is still unconscious in the intensive care unit of the FMC, Ido, Ado Ekiti. Other fourteen passengers of the bus (deaf men and women) were seriously injured and under care.
She called for prayer for the families of the deceases and for a miraculous recovery of Mrs. Nike Adeeko (Nike Folayan) as well as speedy recovery for each of the injured.
DWAN commiserate with the families of the deceases and with every member of DWAN and the general Deaf Community over these great losses.
