A release by the institution’s Public Relations Officer (PRO), Ademola Adesoji, stated that the ghastly road accident involving a luxurious bus travelling from Ibadan and an 18-seater passenger bus from Osogbo, resulted in multiple fatalities around Balogun Area, before Unity School, Ikire, Osun State.

According to the University’s spokesman, the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) and the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) reports indicated that the accident was caused by the head-on collision of the two buses, leading to a severe impact that claimed the lives of several passengers.

The statement read in part: “Our University Management, upon receiving this distressing news, swiftly dispatched a team to the scene to identify and support any of our students involved in the accident.”

He disclosed that the university consequently confirmed the loss of the five students, including Olagbemide Dotun, a 200-level student of Software Engineering; Suleiman Farouq Adedayo, a 400-level student of Law; Ogundare Pelumi, a 300-level student of Public Health; Ogundare Elijah, a 100-level student of Mechanical Engineering, and Olawuyi Mary, a 200-level student of Nursing.
