Below is an Official Statement from the SUG [Student Union Government] of LAUTECH
Just in the 1st week of January '13, a bus driver hit a final year student awaiting his call-up letter sending him on a journey of no return with a brake failure excuse.
And just today, 3 innocent girls have embarked on the same journey with a taxi driver as the sender. Going back to school after getting their laboratory coats has ordered by the lecturer.
In an attempt to escape death, she flew off the bike and hit her head on the tarred road and died instantly, the 2nd girl on the bike and the 3rd girl walking by the road side died on getting to the hospital. The 3 passengers(students)in the taxi are in coma and the okada rider lost one leg and one arm.
Students have started riot since 1pm; razed down the taxi, burning tires, breaking bottles,throwing stones and sticks and beat up a female lecturer because
1) This is the 3rd incident in 2years whereby a driver or an okada rider will kill a student(s)
2) The driver of today's unfortunate incident was drunk, alcohol was perceived strongly all over him
3) The wicked pregnant lecturer that sent them to get their lab coats said she's not concerned with their death cuz she was doing her job by sending them out.
The 3 girls were undergraduates of Science Laboratory Technology (SLT), 200 level. May their souls rest in perfect peace and we pray to God to save the lives of those in coma.
Another riot has been announced to start tomorrow by 7am. This BROADCAST is mainly to warn students of Lautech to stay in their hostels to avoid deaths and injuries!
