A fatal accident occurred on
Wednesday when a granite-
carrying truck rammed into
students who had just closed
from school.
About eight students were
feared dead from the accident
which occurred in Itori village of
Ogun State. The victims are
believed to be students of Itori
Comprehensive High School,
located in Ewekoro Local
Government Area of the State.
The accident occurred when the
truck swerved off the road. It led
to a violent protest by the
victims’ colleagues, who smashed
vehicles and destroyed several
property on sight.
A witness said the truck, with
registration number LAGOS XZ
628 AKD, was coming from
Abeokuta, the state capital, when
it veered off the median.
Some of the protesters also
complained about the late arrival
of the security and rescue
officials to the accident scene.
Many motorists plying the road,
located along the old Abeokuta-
Lagos road, could not hold back
tears on arriving at the scene.
As at the time of filing this report,
an Armoured Personnel Carrier,
belonging to the Ogun State
Police Command arrived at the
scene of the accident, to restore
order preparatory to the
evacuation of victims.
When contacted, the Itori Sector
Commander of the Federal Road
Safety Commission, Fatai Bakare,
confirmed the accident.

This is pathetic, may God grant their families the fortitude to bear their loss.

May their souls rest in peace!

ODUA_NEGRO: May their souls rest in peace!

Amen

Y ogun state always

May their soul rest in Perfect Peace.
What a loss.

Given that Nigerians
are gripped with
fear and insecurity, is it not
advisable to ban all sorts of
driving in the country?
Taking somebody's life is
never acceptable but taking
the lives of innocent school
children is tantamount to a
crime against humanity.
Banning driving will bring
Nigeria to a stand still. We
need this break to reflect
on our future as a nation.

May God give d parents d fortitude to bear d loss........... Amen



To d victims.........may their souls rest in perfect peace......... Amen

johnwizey: Y ogun state always
