Students of Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba-Akoko on Friday stormed to the streets to protest against incessant road crashes close to the university campus.
Over the years, many lives have been lost in such road crashes, usually caused by articulated vehicles passing by the route. The students were aggravated by the most recent of such road crashes that happened on Thursday night and claimed the life of a former student of the university, Michael Akinniyi.
The angry students were said to have pursued the trailer, which knocked down Michael, to a neighboring town Oba-Akoko where he was arrested.
Early Friday morning, some students converged at the main gate of the university chanting solidarity songs with placards having different inscriptions to express their grievances.
