Temi Odejimi has lost her only child, Michael, a 13-year-old Senior Secondary School two pupil of the Suncity College, Magboro, Ogun State, in a crash involving a truck and a tricycle conveying the boy.

The incident reportedly happened around 4pm on Tuesday at the Magboro bus stop, while Michael was returning from school.

The teenager lived with his mother on Oke-Afa Road, Ilupeju area of Magboro, while his father is said to be based abroad.

This is just as protesting neighbours urged the police to rid the spot of touts popularly known as agberos, who caused the crash.

PUNCH Metro learnt that some thugs at the bus stop had flagged down the truck driver to demand N100 from him.

When the driver refused to stop, one of the thugs reportedly jumped onto the driver’s side and started dragging the steering wheel with him.

It was gathered that the truck swerved in the process and hit the tricycle conveying Michael and one other pupil.

The impact was said to have thrown the occupants out of the tricycle and the truck reportedly ran over Michael, who died on the spot.

Neighbours of the deceased pupil thronged the head office of Punch Nigeria Limited in Magboro on Wednesday to protest against what they described as reckless deaths caused by the miscreants......Continue reading: https://www.newsvib.com/2019/03/truck-kills-pupil-in-ogun-state.html

So bad he died an avoidable death, no thanks to the lawlessness and recklessness of these illiterates who knows nothing about the sacredness of human life.

oooooooooohh GOD. kai RIP.

Situations that can be avoided in some other countries. But in Nigeria we see them as normal occurrence. The useless Agbero who caused this havoc might be drinking and smoking after the incident.

This can only happen in the brown roof republic, they can kill themselves for 100naira, awolowo must be ashamed in his grave seeing the people he gave free education, R.I.P to the young child.

This is sad, were there agbero and thugs during the military era? If the answer is no that means the illiterate democracy being practiced in Nigeria has done nor harm than good.
