Two students from the Federal University Lokoja (FUL) and Kogi State Polytechnic, have died in a road accident in the State.

The ghastly motor accident occurred on Friday, and cost the two female students their lives.

The accident involved a heavily loaded articulated vehicle heading toward Abuja, which lost control and rammed into a tricycle (commonly known as Keke NAPEP) carrying passengers toward the main town.

Sources confirmed that the victims were among four passengers in the tricycle. While the other two passengers sustained severe injuries, the two students succumbed to the impact of the collision.

Officers of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) rushed the injured survivors to the State Specialist Hospital in Lokoja for urgent medical attention.

The National Association of Science Laboratory Technology (Kogi State Polytechnic chapter) confirmed the death of Taiwo Abimbola in a condolence statement.
