Final Year LAUTECH Students Burnt To Death In Tragic Accident
Approximately 500 accounting students from the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology in Ogbomoso, Oyo state died in a horrific accident on Wednesday night in Osun state.
When their car unexpectedly caught fire along Ilobu-Okinni-Osogbo route in Osun State, the students were returning from a field trip to Erin-Ijesa Waterfall.
Lekan Fadeyi, the school’s public relations officer, confirmed the unfortunate tragedy but could not confirm the exact number of people lost because he has not yet received more information about it.
He said, “I can confirm to you that there was an accident while some students passed on, but I have not gotten the details of their identities.”
Also, the Students’ Union President of the institution, Anuoluwa Adeboye, while speaking on the incident, said the students organised an excursion to Erin-Ijesa Waterfall after their first-semester exam as part of their activities as final-year students.
