The University of Benin environment was filled with enthusiasm and happiness earlier today as graduating students concluded the 2023/2024 academic session with an optimistic “Sign Out” celebration.
However, the celebratory moment took a twist when four male students were involved in a car accident as a result of reckless driving. Witnesses disclosed that the students, filled with excitement, were driving at a high speed along the route from the Engineering Faculty to the staff quarters.
Unfortunately, their vehicle crashed into a building under construction, resulting in damage to both the car and the building.
Security personnel promptly arrived at the scene and rescued the victims. All four students sustained serious injuries and bruises.
An ambulance conveyed them to the university’s medical center for treatment. However, two of the victims quietly left the scene, refusing medical attention and care.
