That was the day four members of the family and a neighbour died prematurely in an auto crash. A five months old baby of the family escaped the incident unhurt.
Prior to that day, the family had planned triple celebrations: their daughter's graduation ceremony, car dedication of their son and the head of the family's trip abroad alongside the matriachax. All the plans came to nought as a result of the tragedy.
The head of the family, popularlly called Alhaji Bello, was a prominent figure in Bayeku following his sponsorship of many Muslim programmes including the recent turbanning of the first Imam of the community which took place the Sunday preceding his sudden death.
