Barely 24 hours after the auto accident which claimed the lives of five students of Ekiti State University (EKSU), relations and families of the victims are yet to come to terms with the tragedy.
Many of them who stormed Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH) were too grief-stricken to talk to reporters.
They came to identify the bodies of their loved ones at the mortuary while the relations of injured came to be with them at bedside.
Some relations cried profusely on sighting the bodies of the victims they had come to identify.
The accident occurred at about 7.30 pm when the Lexus 320 car crashed into a bus belonging to a nursery and primary school.
The victims who were said to be “yahoo boys” were said to be coming from a party to celebrate the acquisition of a brand new Range Rover Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) by a member of the gang.
Governor Ayo Fayose declared a 3-day statewide prayers for the repose of the souls of the departed.
The governor explained while on a sympathy visit to EKSUTH that the prayers was also meant to forestall a recurrence of such terrible incidences.
