The African Action Congress party has announced that it has lost three members from the Delta State AAC family. The men were returning from an outreach effort related to State AAC activities when their car fell into a river on a particularly bad stretch of road that has claimed many lives in the past.
The incident was said to have occurred during a downpour on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, local and professional divers were still battling to recover the bodies of the passengers that were drowned in the accident.
The vehicle was recovered while the bodies of the three victims were yet to be found.
The deceased include Pastor Jones Abushe, Mr. Edris Sani, and Mr. Ernest Omamode Ojegba.
This is coming barely a month after a similar incident occurred, which claimed the lives of three persons who were returning from Bayelsa State.
Two of the five passengers were said to have survived the accident.
