At Ore, a bustling community in Odigbo Local Government Area of Ondo State, this is a season of tears. And that is understandable.
On Wednesday last week, no fewer than 42 persons, many of them little kids, were killed in a road accident along the Ondo-Ore Road. Most of the dead were pupils of Arisent Nursery and Primary School, Olupitan New Site, Ore.

Since the incident, the community has been enveloped by sorrow. Sadness is boldly written on every face while the entire atmosphere is covered by a dark pall of gloom.
When Daily Sun visited the scene of the incident at the weekend, parents and relatives of the dead pupils were inconsolable.

It was gathered that 10 of the pupils of the school died instantly when the crash occurred. The rest were said to have died at the General Hospital, Ore.
Many of the grief-stricken parents said some of the pupils could have survived if the hospital had been provided with better equipment and well-trained medical personnel.

Mrs. Ajoke Oloyede, who lost one of her daughters in the crash, was weeping profusely as she spoke with Daily Sun. According to her, many of the pupils’ lives would have been saved but for the absence of adequate medical equipment and staff at the General Hospital, Ore.
The woman’s daughter, Fatimah, was one of those rescued from the scene of the auto crash. Her distraught mother regretted that she watched sadly as her daughter languished in extreme pains before eventually dying at the General Hospital, saying the victims were not given good medical attention.
Mrs. Oloyede said the poor medical attention given to the survivors of the road mishap increased the death toll from 10 to 42 as many pupils succumbed to death when their parents took them from the General Hospital to some other private clinics in the area.

She said the condition of the victims had considerably worsened before they were moved to the various private hospitals in the town for better medical treatment.
According to her, no fewer than thirty pupils of the school died because of lack of medical equipment at the General Hospital.
She said: “The General Hospital at Ore is a glorified health centre with no basic equipment. For over three hours, I watched my daughter in pains, dying slowly.
“It is not funny that only one doctor called Kazeem was on hand to attend to the accident victims. So tell me, what could one single medical doctor have done in the midst of thirty victims languishing in pains?”

She also asserted that the few medical personnel on duty showed little concern for the lives of the hapless victims who were in critical condition.
“The attitude of the workers at the General Hospital was not too good,” she said. “They were too cold to us despite complaints made by some of us. They were just looking on as if nothing had happened.”
Mrs. Oloyede also blamed the pathetic condition of the road for the accident, saying her daughter as well as dozens of other kids who perished in the accident might still be alive today if the federal government had dualised the Ondo-Ore Road.
“The Federal government has failed in its duty to give us good roads,” she stated. “This particularly road is too narrow and needs to be dualised. But the federal government has not reasoned along that line.”

However, Daily Sun learnt that too many pupils were forced into the 18-seater bus hired by the school management to convey the pupils to Idanre hills on an excursion.
An eye witness said the pupils were “packed like sardines” into the bus.
Meanwhile, the remains of the proprietor of the school, Mr. Tairu Ariyo who also died in the accident, were buried at his home town, Iree, Osun State at the weekend.
Ariyo, who also lost one of his sons to the accident, was buried according to Islamic injunctions.
It was also gathered that most of the parents whose kids died in the crash are from Osun and Oyo States.
