Three undergraduate students from Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ago-Iwoye, have been confirmed dead following a tragic road accident along the Ilisan/Ago-Iwoye road on Friday afternoon.

The accident, which occurred around 3:30 PM, also left two other students injured. The injured students are currently receiving treatment at the university’s medical centre.

The Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, confirmed the incident in a statement issued from Abeokuta, the state capital. She attributed the crash to overspeeding by the driver of the commercial vehicle in which the students were travelling.

“A fatal motor accident occurred on December 20, 2024, at about 3:30 PM along the Ilisan/Ago-Iwoye road. The incident involved a commercial Opel Safira with the license plate Lagos AAA-126HE, which was driven by one Adekunkle Adebiyi, residing at 5 Sunmibare Street, Awa Ijebu,” the statement read.

Odutola explained that the vehicle, which was travelling at high speed from Ago-Iwoye to Ilisan, lost control and veered off the road into the bushes.

“A male passenger whose identity has not yet been confirmed but is believed to be a student from OOU died at the scene. His body has been taken to the General Hospital Ijebu Ode mortuary,” she said.

Two other students, identified as Dada Oluwanifesimi, 18, a sophomore in Mass Communication, and Miracle Ogo Oluwa Daniel, 19, a junior, were rushed to Love and Care Hospital but succumbed to their injuries while receiving treatment.

“Two other OOU students are currently receiving medical care at the OOU Medical Centre on the Mini Campus,” Odutola added.
