The Vincentian philosophy students were travelling from Ikot-Ekpene, Akwa-Ibom State to attend a compulsory human development programme scheduled at Enugu. But unfortunately, this could not be as one of the two 16-seater buses conveying them had a burst tyre at Otu-Ozara just a few kilometers away to their destination.

Requiem mass held in their honour at St. Joseph Major Seminary, Ikot Ekpene. Internment followed at Blessed Michael Ghebre Community House, Abiakpo, Ntak Inyang in Akwa Ibom state.
