The management, players and staff of Akwa United deeply sympathize with Doma United Football Club over the terrible road accident that involved the team bus along Makurdi/Lafia road on their way back from Owerri after honouring NPFL Matchday 35 against Heartland FC.
Team manager of Akwa United Sir Emmanuel Udoh expressed shock over the sad news of the road mishap but was full of praise to God for sparing the lives of all those who were involved in the accident.
“Despite the terrifying news that the team bus of Doma United somersaulted several times before coming to a complete stop, we in Akwa United feel so relieved that no life was lost, as no amount of money, valuables or possession can compare to the loss of human life; hence our thanks to God Almighty for His mercies and protection over all those who were involved in the auto crash.
“This incident calls for fervent prayers for our football clubs and other road users as they travel across this country to meet up with their different businesses.
“While praying against the re-occurrence of this ugly incident, our prayers and thoughts are with the Management, Staff and Players of Doma United and we wish the team speedy recovery with a view of returning to the business of playing in the league, in good health and sound mind,” he said.
