A 15-year-old secondary school student including two others was killed along Zango-Lokoja road, Kogi, when a truck hit a commercial tricycle popularly known as Keke NAPEP killing the student and two other persons.

An eyewitness, Mr Mike Adejoh disclosed that immediately after the accident, the driver of the truck fled the scene and abandoned the dead bodies of the three passengers.

According to him, the officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), quickly responded to the scene of the accident as they carried the remains of the accident victim to a mortuary.
