ghastly motor accident on Monday, February 8, 2016.
Daily Sun reports that the students were on their way from Oyo
to Ibadan, the state capital when the ugly incident occurred.
It was gathered that thirteen other occupants of the 18-seater bus
sustained varying degrees of injuries in the automobile crash which

6.00pm.
While the deceased’s corpses were deposited at the morgue in
Adeoye State Hospital, Yemetu in Ibadan, the injured victims of
the crash were taken to St Patrick Private Hospital and General
Hospital in Oyo.
A tyre burst during the vehicles’s movement and somersaulted
several times before hitting the road divider and six students died
on the spot.
Adekunle Ajisebutu, Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in
the state confirmed that six persons died while 13 others were
injured.

Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) in Oyo state, Yusuf

people have also lost their lives.
