Truck kills graduate awaiting NYSC call-up

A truck has killed a graduate of accountancy, Abia State Polytechnic, Aba

The victim, Ogechi Ezekiel, was knocked down by the truck on Tuesday while she was coming out of the polytechnic.

The incident happened along Aba-Owerri Road in Abia State.

Ms Ezekiel was said to have graduated with a distinction and had gone to the institution to complete her clearance ahead of her mobilisation for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme.

Following Ms Ezekiel’s graduation with the distinction, a yet-to-identified organisation was said to have offered her a scholarship to do a master’s degree programme before Tuesday’s accident.

A student of the institution, who identified himself simply as Bonaventure, said on Wednesday that a tricycle had hit the graduate and pushed her to the speeding truck.

“The truck immediately crushed her and she died instantly,” the student said.

A source said the driver of the truck has been arrested by the police.
