| The deceased, Mary Ibitolu |
A reckless school bus driver on May 6, Wednesday, crushed
one Miss. Mary Ibitolu, a 200 level Law student at the Obafemi Awolowo
University (OAU), Ile Ife, to death.
The ugly incident occurred at about 10:30a.m around Osogbo Grammar School at Oke-Fia.
It was learnt that the deceased was on a commercial motorcycle when the bus belonging to Muslim Model College, a private school in Osogbo hit the bike and knocked her down.
Before the ugly incident, the driver of the bus was said to have queued at a filling station at Okefia but waited in vain owing to the long queue and he angrily left the queue in search of fuel elsewhere before he lost control and rammed on Ibitolu.
The bus it was further gathered, suffered brake failure before the incident.
Ibitolu was rushed to Osogbo Muslim Hospital at Okefia where she gave up the ghost in less than ten minutes after she was brought to the hospital.
The motorcyclist survived the accident but sustained minor injury. Also, a commuter, who was waiting to board a bus was also said to have been knocked down by the bus.
An eyewitness attributed the accident to the bus’ break failure lamenting the reason why a school would be operating such vehicle.
The bus and the motorcycle were later taken to Dada Estate Police
Station. The police officers at the station declined comment but
referred our correspondent to the Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs
Folasade Odoro, who could not be contacted as her telephone line was not
reachable.
Meanwhile, at a requiem mass for the deceased at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Osogbo, sympathisers that thronged the church could not control their emotions.
She was buried at the cemetery of Saint Benedict Catholic Church around 6:30pm after the funeral mass amidst weeping and wailing by relatives and colleagues.
Many have lost their lives to road accidents as a result of reckless drivers. Last month, a young girl suspected to be a student of Ambrose Alli University; Ekpoma was crushed to death by a Lorry along Uhumudumu Road in Ekpoma, Esan West Local Government Area of Edo state.
