Kindly share:<\/p>\n

Palpable grief has enveloped Borno State capital, following the death of some students of the\u00a0 \u00a0Borno State University have died in an accident.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
The students who had just graduated and celebrating the feat were travelling in a Coaster bus belonging to the school when they were involved in the accident that claimed three lives and leaving 30 others with critical injuries.<\/div>\n
The students had finished their semester exams and returning home when the bus conveying them crashed about 5:15 pm on Wednesday, December 11, 2024, in the Moranti suburb along the Maiduguri\/Damaturu highway.<\/div>\n
It was gathered that the bus collided with a truck, belonging to Dangote, killing three of the students on the spot.”The injured students were rushed to Umaru Shehu Hospital and the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH) for medical attention,” a witness recounted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ali Mallam Gana,\u00a0the\u00a0 Vice President of the National Union of Borno State Students (NUBOSS), Borno State chapter, confirmed the tragedy, adding that the injured students were severely wounded and in critical condition.Gana said:\u00a0\u201cAs we speak, the Commissioner for Education and the Vice Chancellor of Borno State University are at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH), where they are assisting with the treatment of the injured students.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bus, filled with students returning home after the school semester, was struck by the Dangote truck. This led to the loss of two lives and 23 others severely wounded.”<\/p>\n

However, Gaba explained that the number of casualties we’re not yet ascertained\u00a0 as the injured are still receiving treatment in various hospitals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
