Accident In Lagos,5 Students In Coma,Others Injured(SEE Photos)

As shared by Adeyeye…… ‘This happened yesterday at the LASU-IYANA IBA Road and as at yesterday,  5 students were in coma and those who got injured at the head might develop mental disorder as reported. The NANS  Chairman (who was also in the bus) amidst tears told me this morning that a student activist has lost his leg. The worst thing about the whole fateful event is that the doctors in the various hospitals where they were mobilised to so as to fast track the treatment are not “doing anything” likewise the Lagos State Government they have links with. These students need help at the moment.I am on my way to LASUTH . Please Share!. More updates would come later on financial assistance as they (the parents of the victims and some student leaders) have raised and spent more than 100,000 naira since yesternight. Save lives’
