Former wife of a former minister involved in a ghastly crash

Mrs. Precious Chikwendu, the spouse of former Aviation Minister Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode, was involved in a serious car accident on February 29th, 2024, in Abuja.

The incident occurred at the traffic light on Kur Mohammed Avenue, directly in front of Taj Bank.

Regrettably, an aide accompanying Mrs. Chikwendu lost their life in the accident.

Mrs. Chikwendu shared this unfortunate event through a detailed Instagram post, expressing her feelings of survivor’s guilt and the deep sorrow caused by the loss of her aide.

In a poignant reflection, she recounted the challenges she has faced in coping with the aftermath of the accident.

“I’ve been dealing with survivor’s guilt for weeks now,” she shared.

“I am just able to begin proper communication with ‘humans’ because I’ve been mute, going through the phase of trying to understand why I survived with minimal injuries and the person who was next to me didn’t.”

The unfortunate event transpired when Chikwendu, in the company of her driver and aide, was involved in a collision with a reckless driver at the intersection.

Fortunately, she sustained minor injuries. Regrettably, her aide, affectionately known as ‘Sule’, succumbed to his injuries in the tragic incident.

Despite the sorrow she experienced and the legal matters arising from the accident, Chikwendu opted to center her attention on the perceived divine grace she received from a higher power.

“God came through for me, sent me a special gift ahead of time for this season and beyond,” she expressed.

“But I’ve grieved for Sanusi, I’ve looked at my cameras every day, hoping he would be out there cleaning his boots as usual.”

Recalling the last moments she shared with Sanusi, “That fateful morning he was with my kids and I at the national stadium for their inter-house sports,”

“He followed Aiden and Ragnar around like he knew he might never see them again the last I remember was seeing him argue the routes to take with my driver, as if he knew there was danger ahead but surrendered to fate by letting go the opposite way. Will I continuously miss my ‘Sule’? Yes !! Everyday.

“He was one little brother that was too protective of me. Meeting his whole family coincidentally at Sahad stores in January made me see him as a family from that moment, aside from him being the most peaceful, loyal, and easy-to-learn aide I’ve ever had. I virtually camped at the hospital and prayed for the brain injuries to heal with high hopes of having him laugh again at my silly jokes whenever I’m in excellent spirits.

“God alone will heal us all from this pain. I’ve cried my heart out, but most importantly, I’ve learned a lot from this incident. I am grateful to be alive even though I questioned it all for many reasons, I am alive and grateful. Ekwensu ntooooor!,” she recounted.
