Potholes killed my son – Nigerian Dad laments

A Nigerian dad identified as Ini Mbebeng has taken to Facebook to lament on how potholes in the country killed his son.

According to, Ini Mbebeng, potholes on Enen Nsit road, Akwa Ibom State killed his son.

He also alleged that the potholes were left untouched for over a year, before killing his son a few days back. He wrote;

‘the potholes on Enen Nsit which have been the decoration of Ikot Edibon to Ikot Etobo axis of that road from the first month after commissioning were left untouched for over a year until this week TO TAKE MY SON’S LIFE ON MONDAY 25TH MARCH, 2019. The company that did this side of the road should clap for itself’.

He added that, ‘surprised to see that 2 days after my son’s death some people were filling the potholes with cement and sand. I wonder if those materials were not available in the market for the past one year; ooh the company or government waited for them to be wide and deep enough to take a life and give others serious injuries’.
