On Thursday a 16-year-old girl, Moridiyat Abdullateef,
was crushed to death by a truck with number plate XB 482 BDU, alleged to have
been on top speed. The Senior Secondary One student of Government Girls Day
Secondary School, Oke Suna, Ilorin, had gone to fetch water across the road for
her grandfather in the morning before setting out for school and in her attempt
to cross to the other side of the road at Taiwo Isale junction, she was hit by
the driver, who was allegedly drunk, and had lost control of the vehicle.
It was learnt that the truck crushed the girl and all
efforts by residents and Good Samaritans to save her life turned out futile as
she died almost instantly.
The truck driver was said to have escaped while the
truck was destroyed just in front of the deceased’s residence- a one-storey
building beside
Asa river.
Asa river.
The father of the girl, Mr. Abdullateef Mohammed, a
teacher, had in tears said he had taken the unfortunate incident as an act of
God. Very Sad.
