The Lagos State government has announced an important update following the tragedy that killed many students at the Bab Fafunwa Millennium School, Ojodu, formerly Ojodu Grammar School.
The government on Wednesday suspended the ongoing first term examination until January 2022 at the school. Recall that pupils of the school took to the streets to protest the death of their mates.
An articulated truck crushed many of the pupils on their way home from school on Tuesday.
President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with the families of those affected.
A statement by presidential spokesman Femi Adesina reads in part:
“President Buhari condoles with government and people of Lagos State and the authorities of Ojodu Grammar School over the sad and painful loss of the promising lives that were cut short in the tragic incident.
“He prays that the Almighty God will comfort the grieving parents and relations at this very difficult time, and grant the injured quick recovery.”
The exact number of those who died remains conflicting, but sources at the school said three pupils died.
The accident occurred at the Grammar School Bus Stop, Ogunnusi Road, along Ogba-Ojodu/Berger axis.
