In a heartbreaking incident that has shaken the University of Nigeria Nsukka community, 300-level Economics student Chrisantus Chukwuebuka, popularly known as DJ Brownlex, perished in a fatal car accident while heading to Davido's highly anticipated concert in Enugu.
The young DJ, a vibrant presence on campus, was traveling with fellow students when tragedy struck on the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway.The devastating crash unfolded on the night of Saturday, November 1, after the bus carrying DJ Brownlex and others reportedly left late for the event and was operating without adequate headlights. Eyewitness accounts and initial reports reveal that the vehicle slammed into a parked trailer, leading to immediate fatalities.
DJ Brownlex and the bus driver were pronounced dead at the scene, while multiple passengers suffered severe injuries in the Enugu car accident.Among the survivors, two fellow 300-level UNN students remain in coma-like states, fighting for their lives, and a final-year student is undergoing urgent treatment for a life-threatening brain injury.
All injured individuals from the DJ Brownlex accident are receiving specialized care at Shanahan Hospital in Nsukka, where medical teams are working tirelessly to stabilize them amid the aftermath of this UNN student tragedy.
DJ Brownlex, whose energetic sets and infectious personality made him a campus favorite, was buried the following day on Sunday, November 2. Heart-wrenching footage shared across social media captures the raw emotion of the funeral, showing an elderly female family member in profound sorrow, gently touching his body in the open casket and repeatedly calling out his name in grief.
This untimely death of DJ Brownlex serves as a stark reminder of road safety concerns on Nigeria's busy highways, particularly the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, which has seen numerous accidents due to poor vehicle maintenance and nighttime travel risks. As tributes pour in from UNN classmates, friends, and the wider music scene, the incident highlights the fragility of life for young talents like the late DJ Brownlex.
Authorities are urged to investigate the circumstances thoroughly to prevent future Enugu concert tragedies and support affected families during this difficult time.
The University of Nigeria Nsukka mourns one of its own, with calls for improved transportation protocols for student events. DJ Brownlex's legacy as a rising star in campus entertainment will endure, even as the community grapples with profound loss from this Davido concert accident.
