Pupils of a Nursery and Primary school narrowly escaped death as a truck plying the pothole-riddled Ago Palace Way, Okota, in Lagos state, lost control and hit the school bus that was conveying the pupils to school.
According to Daily Sun that the truck was trying to avoid some other tankers that were parked along the road, thereby narrowing it to a single lane making the truck hit the school bus that was filled with children on their way to school.
As a result of the accident, all the doors of the bus became forcefully locked, leaving the terrified children screaming and weeping uncontrollably and were rescued through the window.
Speaking at the scene of the accident, Prince Nixon Okwara, Chairman of Ago Phase Two United Forum, the umbrella organisation of all the estates in the area, on Ago-Okota Road, said that was not the first time such was happening on the road.
He said that they had also sent a save-our-soul message to the governor of Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode to come to their aid.
