Varsity Student Crushed To Death By School Bus

Tragedy struck in Osogbo, Osun State on Wednesday after a 200-level law student of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Miss Mary Ibitolu, was crushed to death by a bus owned by a private secondary school in Osogbo.

It was gathered that the deceased was on a commercial motorcycle when the bus, which was said to have suffered brake failure, hit the motorcycle and knocked her down.

She was said to have been rushed to a private hospital at Okefia where she gave up the ghost. The motorcyclist was said to have survived the accident.

A commuter, who was waiting to board a bus, was also said to have been knocked down, but survived the incident.

One of the eyewitnesses, a hawker, said that the school bus broke down, but the driver called on some passersby to assist him to push-start the engine.

He said when the engine started running, the driver discovered that the brake had failed when he was approaching the motorcycle conveying Ibitolu.

“He tried to stop the bus from hitting the okada but he failed. She fell off the motorcycle and was rushed to a hospital at Okefia, but she died there.

One of the members of the Nigerian Federation of Catholic Students at the OAU, Mr. Timothy Agbor, said Ibitolu, was a member of the fellowship.

Agbor said, “I was shocked when somebody called and informed me that she died in an accident. Mary was a God-fearing lady. I can’t believe she is gone.”

He added that a requiem Mass was ongoing for the deceased at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Osogbo as of the time of filing this report.

The bus and the motorcycle were said to have been taken to the Dada Estate Police Station.

Although the vehicle was seen at the station, policemen at the counter declined comment on the accident. They referred PUNCH Metro to the Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs. Folasade Odoro.

However, efforts to speak to the PPRO proved abortive as calls made to her phone did not connect.
