The deceased simply identified as Sodiq and Wale of the Department of Accounting and Arts respectively were on their way to receive lectures on a commercial motorcycle in when accident occurred.
The motorcyclist did not die but one of the students died on the spot while the other died on the way to the hospital.
It was gathered that the motorcycle suddenly ran into a heap of gravel along the road, throwing off the students while a vehicle coming on the opposite direction hit them.
The students, who blamed the Federal Road Safety Commission for not preventing the pouring of gravel along the road, stormed the FRSC unit in Ila, which they vandalised.
They later went to the residence of the Chairman, Ila-Orangun Local Government Council, Mr. Segun Awotunde, and vandalised it.
They also damaged the fence of the palace of the Orangun of Ila, Oba Wahab Oyedotun, but a timely intervention of the police stopped the situation from degenerating.

Please what sort of irresponsible reporting is this? Your headline is sensational, where in the body have you shown or said that the O ba's house was burnt?
ReplyDeleteNigerian students are becoming more idle. Must they protest at every slightest opportunity? I blame the lecturers for not keeping them busy with developmental projects! They attend to their personal businesses while leaving the students half-baked by rolling out hand-outs which they sell at exhorbitant prices and manage to attend class once or twice in a whole semester to summarise their hand-outs while also threatening those that can't afford to buy with carry-overs. God save Nigerian Institutions! May the souls of the deceased rest in peace! KAYJOE
