Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A yet-to-be identified female student of Seico Secondary School, Ikangba, Ijebu Ode has been confirmed dead and another severely injured, after a truck rammed into them while returning back from school.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred on the newly rehabilitated Ikangba\/Agoro road on Friday.<\/p>\n

The students were returning home after finishing their West Africa Examination for Senior Secondary when the truck coming from Molipa end lost control and ram into the students coming from the opposite direction.<\/p>\n

Giving an account of the incident, a resident in the area and chairman of Ogun State chapter of Campaign for Democratic and Workers Rights, Eko Nicholas, said the truck after running into the students crashed into the fence of a Redeemed church beside the road.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cThe students were obviously those writing this ongoing WASSCE because they were holding the question papers.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the students, a female died on the spot while another female was also critically injured, we are all praying she make it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nicholas, however, blamed the incessant accident on the failure of the government to help with road bumps or breakers that could easily help to check the reckless drivers plying the road.<\/p>\n

He said \u201cThis is yet another needless deaths on the Ikangba\/Agoro road, bringing the number of souls lost from February to six, including several ones that were injured.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe again call on the state government to construct speed breakers and street lights to stem these avoidable and painful deaths.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Public Relations Officer of the Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency, Babatunde Akinbiyi, when contacted confirmed the incident saying, \u201cone school pupil died.\u201d<\/p>\n
