Pupils block highway in Ogun as vehicle kills one of them
TopNaija reports that Pupils of United Comprehensive High School, Wasimi in Ewekoro Local Government Area of Ogun State on Thursday morning, barricade the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway to protest against the alleged killing of their colleague.
The pupil was said to have been killed while crossing the dulled road.
TopNaija gathered that the pupils, who trooped out in their numbers, were reportedly vandalizing vehicles, causing motorists to avoid the area.
“I am returning to Abeokuta right now. There is no way we can pass through Wasinmi. The pupils are protesting the killing of one of them by a driver,” a source told our correspondent.
It was gathered that security agents are making efforts to restore normalcy.
The Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement (TRACE) Corps spokesperson, Babatunde Akinbiyi, did not pick calls as of the time of filing this report.
