The administration of the African Dream Academy (ADA), local, and international sponsors and partners the management and staff of Kukatonon Media Incorporated along with the peace-loving people of Liberia, are mourning the deaths of ten Liberians, amongst them was a promising young student of the African Dream Academy, whose name is Lucky Smart.

According to a post on Social Media, from the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the African Dream Academy, Rev. Samuel Enders, Lucky met his sudden death when a truck allegedly connected to or hired by USAID and or EU, the agency’s driver lost control and ran into a taxi and kehkeh (Tricycle) along the ELWA road resulting in the death of ten persons.
Observers revealed that the current road construction works along ELWA – RIA highway creates havoc for pedestrians because there is inadequate space for them to get on or disembark from the Kehkeh
Similarly, a situation arose in front of the LPRC when a little girl got instantly killed after a Kehkeh carrying an enormous number of planks, lost control. The little girl was still in her Uniform when this sad incident took place.
“Mr. Lucky Smart, where are you? We are broken, 12 years and you just leave us. My stomach aches as I listen to people talk about you screaming under the truck. My heart hurts.” Rev. Samuel Enders owner of the African Dream Academy wrote in his social media post.

Sadly you died today serving us, I salute you, I respect you, and thank you. You are my hero. ‘May your soul and the souls of all those who died today rest in perfect peace’. The entire district 6 and the country wish you a gentle rest in the Lord’s arms: he sadly ended his social media post.
