Tragedy
struck on Sunday evening as some students of the University of Lagos,
Akoka, were involved in a fatal motor accident, which left no fewer
than three dead.
The students, who were said to be
returning from the birthday of a friend’s mother, crashed their car near
Muritala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja.
The students, who reportedly died
included a 400-level student of Mass Communication Department, Eniola
Abiodun, and a 200-level student of Quantity Surveying, Adelowotan
Oluwafunmilayo, viewed as a first class material because she was on
grade point 4.71.
Another student, identified simply as
Kanyinsola, also died, while Temi and Iyabo, who were said to be in
critical conditions, had been taken to the Lagos State University
Teaching Hospital, Ikeja.
Efforts to reach the University of
Lagos authorities to comment on the incident, however was abortive as
calls to the telephones of the registrar and that of the Public
Relations Officer did not go through.
However, a lecturer in the Department
of Mass Communication, Dr. Olubunmi Ajibade, said she had heard of
Abiodun’s death in an interview with our correspondent.
She said, “It’s very sad. I heard about her demise this afternoon myself.”
The Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, also confirmed the accident.
She however said only four students were in the vehicle.
She said, “It was a lone fatal accident
which occurred along the Airport Road. We don’t know exactly what
caused the accident, but I can confirm to you that only the car crashed.
“There were four occupants and only one died on the spot. The remaining three were rushed to LUTH.”
