Two students of the Edo State–owned Ambrose Alli University (AAU), Ekpoma, have died in a road accident that occurred during their sign-out celebration.
The students reportedly joined a motorcade after completing their final examinations and were travelling in a convoy around Ujoelen Junction along the Ekpoma–Auchi Expressway when the incident happened.
Although their identities were yet to be confirmed at press time, eyewitnesses said the victims attempted to overtake a moving truck but rammed into a stationary vehicle.
Edo State Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Cyril Mathew, confirmed the incident, explaining that one person died while five others sustained injuries.
According to him, “The students, after writing their last paper, entered the road in a convoy. In the process, one of them overtook another vehicle and rammed into a stationary truck.” (The Nation, excluding headline )
