The pupils were going to school on a motorcycle, when the truck crushed them to death along Iwo-Ibadan Expressway.
A sand-laden truck on
Monday morning killed four pupils of Ejioku Secondary School in the Lagelu
Local Government Area of Oyo state.
SaharaReporters learnt
that the pupils were going to school on a motorcycle, when the truck crushed
them to death along Iwo-Ibadan Expressway.
SaharaReporters learnt
that the incident forced students of the school to begin vandalising
articulated vehicles in Ejioku.
An eyewitness told
SaharaReporters that some parents have stormed schools in the area to pick up
their children.
As at the time of this
report, it is unclear if the four children belonged to the same parents.
"It happened less
than one hour ago. Four pupils of the Ejioku secondary school were crushed by a
truck. Students have started vandalising trucks in Ejioku. They are still here
as I speak.
"Police must come
around to ensure law and order. This is taking another dimension now. The
students are on rampage," she said.
The police public
relations officer in the state, Olugbenga Fadeyi, confirmed the crisis to
SaharaReporters on Monday, saying the police would do everything to nip it in
the bud and restore peace in the area.
