A student at the Faculty of Science, University of Ibadan, Balkis Adeniyi, has died in an accident that occurred on Mokola-Oyo Road in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Friday.

Eyewitnesses told City Round that the accident also left two other victims seriously injured as a tricycle popularly called Keke Napep, rammed into a waste disposal truck at Leventis area of Sango in the metropolis.

The accident occurred around 9:30am while the student was returning from a bank where she had gone to pay her school fees.

The police gave the number plate of the tricycle as RU 152 UP and described the truck as ‘MARC LAMMERTYN’.

An eyewitness, Bamgbose Omobola, blamed the crash on speeding on the part of the tricycle driver, adding that the victim (Adeniyi) died immediately after the accident.
