A female student of Seico Secondary School, Ikangba, Ijebu Ode, has died after a truck rammed into her and another student while they were returning home from school.
The incident occurred on the newly rehabilitated Ikangba/Agoro road on Friday, as the students were walking home after finishing their West Africa Examination for Senior Secondary.
The truck, coming from the Molipa end, lost control and crashed into the students walking in the opposite direction, also hitting the fence of a Redeemed church beside the road.
A resident, Eko Nicholas, attributed the accident to the lack of road bumps or breakers to check reckless drivers on the road.
This incident brings the number of souls lost on the Ikangba/Agoro road to six since February, with several others injured.
The Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency confirmed the incident, stating that one school pupil died.
