A final-year student in the Department of Agric Economics at the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Osun State, Chisom Nwankwo, has died in an accident that occurred on the campus.

Nwankwo was said to be travelling on a commercial motorcycle along Road 1 on the campus when the accident that claimed her life occurred.

Sources on campus said immediately after the accident occurred, Nwankwo and the motorcyclist who conveyed her were rushed to the health centre, from where they were moved to OAU Teaching Hospital, where the student was confirmed dead.

Before the accident, a motorcyclist and another student of the university, Deborah Okunola, had been injured in another accident.

While they were being attended to, a motorcyclist conveying Nwankwo, upon arriving at the scene, got carried away and lost control after a bus coming behind hit it.

The spokesperson of the school, Abiodun Olanrewaju, confirmed the accidents.
