Four persons, including schoolchildren, lost their lives on Wednesday in a tragic road accident at Sowo Village, along the Abeokuta–Sagamu Expressway in Ogun State.
The crash, which occurred around 3 pm, involved a vehicle that reportedly rammed into the pupils while they were walking by the roadside.
Eyewitnesses said the incident triggered outrage in the area, with angry youths attempting to lynch the driver.
He was, however, rescued by security operatives who quickly intervened.
Confirming the incident in a telephone conversation with journalists, the spokesperson for the Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency, Babatunde Akinbiyi, stated that efforts were immediately launched to manage the situation.
