The students of Ladoke Akintola University yesterday embarked on a riot and as at this morning, the riot is getting really serious. According to what the students there told me;
In the 1st week of January 2013, a bus driver hit a final year student awaiting his call-up letter sending him on a journey of no return with a brake failure excuse. and just today, 3 innocent girls have embarked on the same journey with a taxi driver as the sender. Going back to school after getting their laboratory coats as ordered by the lecturer.
In an attempt to escape death, she flew off the bike and hit her head on the tarred road and died instantly, the second girl on the bike and the third girl walking by the road side died on arrival at the hospital. Three other students who are passengers in the taxi are in coma and the okada rider lost one leg and one arm. Yesterday, the students beat up a female lecturer because:…..
1) This is the 3rd incident in 2 years whereby a driver or an okada rider will kill a students
2) The driver of today’s unfortunate incident was drunk, alcohol was perceived strongly all over him
3) The wicked pregnant lecturer that sent them to get their lab coats said she’s not concerned with their death because she was doing her job by sending them out.
The three dead girls were undergraduates of Science Laboratory Technology (SLT), 200 level.
May their souls Rest in Peace and wishing those in coma quick recovery!
