The student, who was said to be coming to the campus to submit her final year project to her supervisor, was crossing the Ife – Ibadan express road at the campus gate when the accident happened.

The members of the Federal Road Safety Corps came to recover the corpse of the student. They deposited the same at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital Complex mortuary at about 12:35 pm. At the same time, the officers of the Nigerian Police arrested the driver for investigation and further necessary action.

Professor Bamire, who was visibly devastated, said: „ If it is unfortunate to lose a domestic animal, how can anyone quantify the loss of a child, most especially a grown-up child who was a young, promising adult with a lot of potential? A final year student, for that matter“. Therefore, he appealed to his parents, siblings, family, friends, and classmates to seek solace in God.
