10 students, Nine Others die from Multiple Crashes In Ogun State
Thursday, December 13, 2012Omoba
Emotions ran high, yesterday afternoon, when a
truck rammed into a school building in Itori, Ewekoro Local Government Area of
Ogun State, killing no fewer than 10 students, while 50 vehicles were damaged.
Also, no fewer than nine persons lost their lives
in two other separate accidents along Abeokuta-Ibadan and Lagos-Ibadan expressways
in Ogun State.
An eyewitness, who was part of the rescue team
before the arrival of officers of Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, told
Vanguard that it involved students of Itori Comprehensive High School. According
to the source, the students had just closed for the day and were heading for
their homes when the truck rammed into them.
It was learnt that the truck, with plate number
LAGOS YZ 628 AKD, was said to be coming from Abeokuta, the state capital, when
it veered off the median and ran into the students.
Confirming the incident, Itori Sector Commander of
FRSC, Mr. Fatai Bakare, however, said only five students were confirmed dead.
He said the driver lost control and veered off the
road before it fell on the school pupils.
It was also gathered that the inability of the
local government to assist the injured angered the residents and parents of the
victims, who then went on rampage.

When choosing the http://www.faucetsmarket.com/kitchen-faucets-c-22.html pieces and faucets, one should shop around before purchasing a specific Antique brass faucet. There is always a tendency to find something that may sometimes look better or be priced in Bathroom mirror more pleasing way than the purchased one.
