Abeokuta - Students of Olabisi Onabanjo University
(OOU) in Ago Iwoye on Tuesday demanded N80
million as compensation for families of their eight
colleagues who died in an auto crash on June 26.
The Students Union Government in a statement
made available in Abeokuta by its spokesperson,
Damilola Adelesi, demanded N10 million each for
the families of the eight victims.
The accident occurred when a container laden trailer
driving against traffic on the Sagamu-Benin
expressway crushed the commercial bus conveying
the students.
"We demand that Celplas Industries Nigeria Ltd
compensate the families of the deceased in the sum
of N10 million each.


"We use this medium as a final reminder to all
concerned parties of our demands and issue a fresh
seven working day ultimatum which starts from July
7 to July 15,"the statement said.
The statement lamented that there had not been any
contact between the company which owns the
chemicals in the container and OOU management.
The students had on June 29 staged a peaceful
protest at the accident scene and later attacked the
premises of the company where they vandalised
some trucks.
The students also demanded that the driver of the
trailer should be arrested and prosecuted with
immediate effect.
They further demanded that the company should be
prosecuted while the state government should be
involved in the burial arrangement of the victims.
