Lightening kills UB student in Kumbo

A second year student from the University of Buea has been struck to death by lightning. Etienne Leinyuy died on 4th August 2015 at Bajing -Tobin Catholic School Football Field in the North West Region.
    Information from his younger brother who witnessed the event says while they were playing football on the field with their friends, a sudden lightning and thunder blasted and tore Etienne’s clothes burning part of his shoes. He rushed to his brother’s aid and as they boarded a bike to rush him to the hospital, he died on the way.

    He was buried the following day at Bamngoiy village in Bui Division after a church service.
The mother of the deceased, Florence Leinyuy, a widow, is still to come to terms on why her son who had already made his way into second year in the University should pass out so sudden.
    Some inhabitants could not help questioning why Etienne should be the only one to die from the blast when a great number of them were playing in the field.
