It has now emerged that one of the three workers of Western African Mills Company (WAMCO) based in Takoradi, who died in a ghastly car accident at Komenda Sefwi in the Central Region, was bent on fighting for the cause of his colleagues and the company even at the peril of his life.

A Senior Laboratory Technician of the Company, Julius Nuviador, disclosed this when he visited the residence of the mother of the late colleague Victor Essel Cudjoe at Pariscoa in Sekondi on Saturday.

Paying glowing tribute to the late colleague, Mr Nuviador said Victor on countless occasions expressed his preparedness to lay down his life to improve the lives of his colleagues, as well as the company.

Victor, 39, a Biochemist with first class honours from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology was the Quality Coordinating Manager of WAMCO until his death.

He was among three persons who died when a Sprinter Bus on which they were travelling collided with a Military Ambulance at Komenda Sefwi last Thursday.

They were on their way to the Parliament House in Accra to listen to the Finance Minister speak to issues bordering on the current state of the company.

The Finance Minister was expected to answer questions posed by the Member of Parliament (MP) for Takoradi, Kwabena Okyere Darko–Mensah on plans to revive the company.

Victor, Richard Koomson and Charles Pinkrah, a former Laboratory Technician died few minutes after they were transported to the Central Regional Teaching Hospital in Cape Coast on Thursday, July, 14, 2016.

In all, 24 persons, including the driver of the Sprinter Bus, were injured.

Personnel from the Ghana National Fire Sevice and Ambulance Service in Cape Coast and Takoradi rushed to the scene of the accident to offer assistance and help rescue those who were trapped in the Sprinter Bus.

DAILY GUIDE gathered that about six of the injured had since been treated and discharged while the rest are still on admission at the Central Regional Hospital in Cape Coast and Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital in Sekondi.
