Few days after the death of a student of Dowen College in Lagos State, which led to the shutdown of the school, the Lagos State Government on Wednesday, shut down Babs Fafunwa Millennium School, Ojodu, popularly known as Ojodu Grammar School, until January 2022.
The closure of the school is coming after an accident that occurred at about 2.15pm on Tuesday. A DAF truck with registration number P 438 YA rammed into a crowd of students, killing some and injuring others. Although there are reports that up to 15 students lost their lives in the accident, the Lagos State Police authorities confirmed that two students died in the crash.
Police Public Relation Officer, Adekunle Ajisebutu, had said in a statement that angry students, who were later joined by hoodlums, attempted to set ablaze Ojodu Police station for allegedly shielding the driver of the ill-fated truck.
