Kwara: Truck Driver kills student in accident, flees

The Kwara State Police are currently seeking a Conoil truck driver and his motor boy for the death of a student at Kwara State Polytechnic. Authorities claim that the student's body was found on a bridge in Ilorin after a vehicle accident. The Police Commissioner, Ojo Adekimi, disclosed the incident during a phone conversation with the press.

The driver reportedly acquired the body from a tricycle operator, who subsequently handed it over to the truck crew. The deceased, named Sheu, allegedly died after being hit by the truck in the vicinity of Government Secondary School in Ilorin. He had borrowed a motorcycle to earn money for his livelihood, but his family grew concerned when he did not return it on the day of the accident.

Authorities discovered the body after residents alerted the police. Sheu's family identified him by comparing photographs taken prior to the burial. The Police Commissioner has directed that the drivers of the Conoil truck be apprehended, while the family awaits clarification on whether the operator acted out of ignorance or for monetary gain.
