Pandemonium struck on Friday in Abeokuta, Ogun State, when the driver of a black Nissan Pathfinder car, who was allegedly on a race with a motorcyclist on the same road, swerved and killed two 100 level students of the University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, UNAAB.
According to an eyewitness account, the driver of the car, said to be a staff of UNAAB, veered off the road and knocked down the two students on the walkway.
His car was burnt down by angry students while he reportedly fled from the scene of the incident.
He was later caught and was almost being lynched by the irate students of the school but for the prompt intervention of some policemen from Eleweran.
Aproko247 reliably gathered that one of the two students, until his death, was the Head Of Class, HOC, of Water Resources Management, WMA, department of the institution.
Meanwhile, the corpses of the two students have been deposited at the Federal Medical Centre in Abeokuta.
However, normalcy has returned to the school as security personnels have restored peace within the university community.
Though the angry students are calling for the suspect to be released to them, a source in Abeokuta informed Aproko247 that the man is under the police custody.
