Residents of Port Harcourt are grieving the tragic death of 26-year-old Moses Peace, who was reportedly killed in a hit-and-run incident along Ada George Road on March 19, 2026.
Tragic incident sparks anger
According to eyewitness accounts, the young woman was returning from a church programme when she was struck by vehicles believed to be part of a speeding convoy.
Witnesses alleged that multiple vehicles ran over her and continued without stopping to render assistance.
She was confirmed dead at the scene, leaving family, friends, and members of the community in shock.
Calls for justice
The incident has triggered widespread outrage, with many demanding a thorough investigation and accountability for those responsible.
Loved ones have called on residents and commuters who were in the area at the time to come forward with any useful information.
A friend of the deceased, Gloria Borlo, described the incident as a painful loss caused by recklessness, urging the public not to remain silent.
She appealed to anyone who may have witnessed the accident or has relevant details to help identify those involved.
Search for evidence
Appeals have also been made to business owners and property holders along the Ada George axis—particularly between Omega Junction and Okilton Junction—to provide CCTV footage that could aid investigations.
Preliminary information suggests the vehicle involved may have been either a Toyota Tundra or a Toyota Highlander, though authorities and family members are seeking more precise and verifiable details.
Community response
Community members have criticised reckless driving by motorists moving in convoys in Port Harcourt. They called for stricter enforcement of traffic laws to prevent similar incidents.
Efforts are ongoing to gather evidence and ensure that those responsible are identified and brought to justice.
