If only Edet Eteng had had a premonition of the grim fate that lay ahead for him and his family of a wife and four children,  he and his household would have surely shelved their trip to  Abuja and stayed back in his home of Ugep, Yakuur local government area of Cross River state.

However, on Saturday morning the 16th of September,  2023, when Eteng and his family left Ugep and set out to travel back to Abuja where they resided after the popular annual Yakurr cultural fiesta, Leboku( new yam festival), there was nothing to indicate that some hours later, the entire family would perish in a fatal accident involving two vehicles close to Abochiche, headquarters of Bekwara local government area of the State.
