A truck driver has crushed four students of Idito Secondary School and a motorcycle rider, on Monday, in Lagelu Local Government Area of Oyo State.

It was gathered that the students were going to school on a motorcycle when the truck crushed them along Iwo-road on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.

The state police public relations officer, Olugbenga Fadeyi, who confirmed the incident to newsmen in Ibadan on Monday, said the Divisional Police Officer in the area had sent the signal to the state command headquarters, Eleyele, Ibadan.

According to Fadeyi,

“It is true. The DPO told me that the incident happened when the driver of the truck was trying to avoid killing some sheep and rammed into the students on the Okada. Police have moved to the area to ensure life and prosperity were not vandalized by the angry students.”

Reports coming in from the area have it that students of the school moved to the nearby park in the area and embarked on a vandalizing spree.

There were also reports that parents stormed the school to pick up their wards and children.

As of the time of filing this report, it is still unclear if the four students belong to the same parents.
