It was gathered that the two girls

the Lagos/Benin Expressway which
is just in front of the school gate.

found lying on the road while the
girl who was hit first was found in
the bush close to the Road side and
they were both rushed to the
hospital.
An I.D Card found in one of the
girl’s Bag indicated she was a 200

As at the time of filing this report,,it
was gathered that the 200 level

currently suffering from internal

Different reactions have rolled in on
the danger of that express road just
in front of the school. Separating an
off-campus from the school gate.
Here is what the ex-secretary
general of the SUG,,precious erhiabo
had to say about the situation.
“It hurts
The solution is this, we take up
diggers and shovel to that road
tomorrow, no one will tell the
government to take over and either
construct a flyover or make speed
break.
The SUG can take this up tomorrow
being a public holiday. We all
should be there because volunteers
are needed too.
Rest in peace to one of ours, it could
have been you or me.”
