A 26-year-old entrepreneur, Peace Moses, has tragically lost her life after being struck by a speeding convoy along the Ada George/Omega Junction area in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Peace, described by friends and associates as vibrant and hardworking, was building a life for herself while managing a business and staying committed to her faith. On the evening of March 19, 2026, she had just concluded a church service and was heading home.
According to eyewitness accounts, the incident occurred between 7:30 pm and 7:50 pm as she attempted to cross the road. After reportedly ensuring the road was clear, she stepped forward, unaware of an approaching convoy moving at high speed. The vehicles hit her and continued without stopping, leaving her critically injured on the road.
She was later confirmed dead, cutting short the life of a young woman said to be in good health and full of promise.
The incident has reignited public concern over reckless driving, particularly by convoys, within urban areas. Residents have questioned the persistent disregard for speed limits, especially on inner-city roads where pedestrian movement is common.
There are also growing calls for improved road infrastructure, including better street lighting and stricter enforcement of traffic regulations, to prevent similar tragedies. Many argue that poor visibility at night and unchecked speeding continue to pose significant risks to pedestrians.
As reactions continue to trail the incident, calls for accountability and justice for Peace Moses are gaining momentum, with many insisting that such losses reflect deeper systemic issues that must be urgently addressed.
