The truck accident that killed at least two schoolchildren in Ojodu area of Lagos on Tuesday throws up questions about the safety of school children in Lagos and by extension Nigeria.
Fourteen year old Adedoyin Adebayo and another fourteen year old, Israel Taiwo Apolebi of the Babs Fafunwa Millenium Secondary School Ojodu, were killed in the accident while not less than 18 others sustained various degrees of injuries.
ARISE News has been visiting the homes of some of the affected victims where family members are still finding it difficult to come to terms with the tragedy and demanding that a proper investigation be carried out into the cause of the accident and justice served on those found responsible.
