(FUNNAB), were killed on Friday by a hit-and-run motorist currently at
large.
According to eyewitnesses, the incident happened at about 7:30 pm in
front of Isolu Muslim High School, Alabata, about a kilometer away
from FUNNAB.
The driver of the vehicle, a golden Jeep, was reportedly on top speed
and trying to avoid a collision with a vehicle from the opposite
direction, when he suddenly swerved and ran into the students, who
were said to be returning home from school.
The driver abandoned the vehicle and ran away while other students
around made an unsuccessful attempt to apprehend him.
Angry students took to the streets and began to destroy property
including the jeep, which was set ablaze and barricaded the roads
leading to the university campus.
Mr Kola Adepoju, the institution's Public Relations Officer, who
confirmed the incident to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), described
it as unfortunate and announced that Monday has been declared
lecture-free to mourn the students.
The bodies of the deceased have been deposited at the mortuary.
