Truck Crushes Two Students Of Akwa Ibom Polytechnic To Death by NaijaCover(m): 7:09am On Jan 10
Two Students Of Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic, Ikot Osurua, have been crushed to death by a truck.

The incident happened on Monday, January 9, few metres away from the school’s premises, near Ikot Inyang village junction, along Aba Road in Ikot Ekpene Local Government Area.

The truck driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle and rammed into the female students, killing them on the spot.

The deceased, Abasifreke Okon, and Irene Edwin from Ikot Abasi and Ibesikpo Asutan LGA respectively, were preparing for their practical examinations scheduled for Wednesday. Jan. 10.

Both of them were ND 2 Science Laboratory Technology students and were described as best friends. They were supposed to have completed their academic programme after their exams on Wednesday.

Following the incident, the management of the polytechnic postponed the examinations.

Confirming the incident, Akwa Ibom State Sector Commander, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Matthew Olonisaye, attributed the accident to reckless driving. He urged drivers to make the maintenance of their vehicles a top priority.

Olonisaye said: “It actually happened, it’s because of loss of control by the driver. We advise drivers to abide with the rules that guide the usage of the road, they should not be in a hurry.

“Drivers should also make vehicle maintenance a priority for any life lost cannot come back. An accident does not just happen, it is caused. I commiserate with the families of those who lost their lives.”

The driver was reckless, but how motorable is the Ikot Inyang village junction, along Aba Road in Ikot Ekpene Local Government Area? That also goes to how Nigeria roads have become death traps

Nigerians are lawless people. I remember one driver that was arrested by road safety officers for driving a very malfunctioning danfo. If u see the people that came to help him fight off the officers? They were saying that he should be released bcus he was only trying to hustle.
Can u imagine, hustling with a very bad vehicle that is having brakes failures. But if he killed someone Nigerians will blame government. We are very lawless naturally, that's why we plenty 4 prison in oyimboland

You are correct. Very lawless, and will always find baseless reasons to support it.
