A young JSS 2 female student of the Community Secondary School, Adazi-Ani, in the Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra State, was sent out of school and was later killed by a truck on the highway. Brake failure had caused the loss of control of the truck.
An eyewitness, Mr. Abuchi Okwara, told our correspondent that the JSS2 pupil, whose name was given as Chinyere, was  sent out by the school’ s authorities.

“They were three that were sent out of the school for not paying their school fees. But Chinyere was the one that was killed by the truck.

“The incident took place at about 9am near the school.

“It was while they were heading home that she was killed while others escaped by a whisker. The vehicle sever her head from her body,” Okwara said.

Calls and text message to the school’s principal, Mrs Edith Mojeke, were neither picked nor replied to.

The mobile phone of the Commissioner for Education in the state, Prof. Kate Omenugha, rang out.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs Nkeiru Nwode, said, “Our men are on ground and they know what to do.”
