A female lecturer of the Federal University Lokoja (FUL), Mrs Kemi Emmanuel, suffered a tragic fate as she was killed by a \u2018hit-and-run\u2019 truck driver after falling off a commercial motorcycle on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Kogi confirmed the killing of the lecturer with Mr Tenimu Etuku, FRSC sector Clcommander describing her death as very sad and unfortunate.
\nThe late Mrs Emmanuel, was reported to be a well-respected and admired lecturer in the Department of Theatre Arts of the university.<\/p>\n

Etuku said that the accident occurred around 3.30p.m. on Wednesday, when the lecturer fell off a commercial motorcycle a.k.a Okada.
\n\u201dAfter she fell, a truck hit her on the highway at Crusher in Lokoja metropolis.
\n\u201cWhen the accident happened, our rescue operation team responded timely and quickly rushed the victim to Kogi State Specialist Hospital, where she was confirmed dead.
\n\u201cThe corpse of the deceased has been deposited at the hospital\u2019s mortuary,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He expressed shock over the attitude of the said okada rider, who reportedly zoomed off on the guise of chasing the said hit and run truck.<\/p>\n

The sector commander cautioned okada riders against contesting with enclosed vehicles on the highway to avoid such unfortunate incidents and save the lives of innocent passengers. (NAN)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
