OOU_Students-ProtestStudents of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye in Ogun State, have issued a fresh seven-day ultimatum to the State government, demanding justice over the death of some 11 students of the institution who died in a road accident.

The students died two weeks ago, along the Sagamu-Ore road when a container fell on a bus they were in.

Their colleagues are demanding for the immediate arrest and prosecution of the killer driver and investigation and prosecution of government agencies for their alleged culpability in the death of their colleagues.

They are also asking for the prosecution of the private company whose vehicle caused the accident and payment of 10 million Naira as compensation to each family of the slain students by the private company.

Addressing reporters on Tuesday in Abeokuta, the capital of the state, the President of the Student Union of the institution, Adegbesan Adenola, said the fresh ultimatum was a reminder of their demand to the State government.

He demanded the full participation of the State government and the private company in the burial arrangements of the victims.

They threatened to sue the government and the company if their demands were not met.
