Tragedy hits Enugu community as a master’s degree student identified as Modestus Onah Ekene slumped and lost his life at Okpara square while jogging alongside members of the Coal City Exercise club on November 9.
It was learned that the deceased in his late thirties and a member of Nigeria Red Cross, Enugu, started panting while jogging. Still, he was not noticed while struggling to breathe as the group usually use “Ogene” and “Ichaka” to entertain themselves as they jog around the coal city.
According to reports, he suddenly slumped, and other members of the club who thought that he had a slip tried to help him up to his feet, but to their surprise, his body became lifeless.
He was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead by doctors.
Late Modestus hailed from Nsukka and a graduate of clinical psychology from Enugu State University of Science and Technology and was until his death, a Master’s degree student at the University of Nigeria Enugu Campus (UNEC).

“My dear friends, I don’t know what this life means to you or your ideology about your existence here on Earth. This young man, by name Modestus Onah, a master’s degree student at UNEC, waked up on Saturday the 9th day of November hale and hearty, dressed up with his jogging outfits. Came to okpara square, Enugu to keep fit as usual, but he did not return alive. He slumped while jogging with a sporting group along the road, and we tried reviving and stabilizing him immediately just within 4mins the incident happened, he died. Prayers were said fervently, but he is gone. The question is, did he offend God, or is he the worst sinner?, the answers are on the “No” side. Let us all know that “In Midst Of Life lies death.” Forgive who offended you, apologize to whom you hurt, and be liberated, for holding the grudges does not worth it. Death! A Lesson to the Living. Rest in peace, my Brother.”
