A gory incident occurred at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) in front of the university sports center. A group of students returning from a party or club had their sedan car overturned. This incident happened in the early hours of Saturday, August 10th, 2024, following a loud, sharp sound that prompted people to rush out and see what had transpired.
A lady was seen bleeding profusely, while another man was seen with bloodstains all over his pure white shirt.
At last, an ambulance belonging to the institution was used to convey the wounded ones from the scene.
Premierlead, a reporter was able to interview the security personnel posted at the sports center and another one from the Environmental Science Faculty adjacent to the center, who seemed to have witnessed the event.
It has become common for some University of Lagos students to drive recklessly. Speeding from the main gate to the inner parts of the campus is a regular occurrence, and often, they remove the exhaust from their sports vehicles to create nuisance and unnecessary loud noise. These students often seem to have lost sight of their main purpose on campus, as their priorities appear misplaced.
To prevent future occurrences of this nature, security personnel need to tighten their efforts by stopping any vehicle suspected of reckless driving at the main gate and asking drivers with tinted windows to either remove the tint or roll down the windows. Additionally, a traffic sign indicating the speed limit should be placed near the gate.
Vehicles causing noise pollution due to exhaust removal should be stopped at the entrance before entering the campus, as they disrupt the focus of the serious students on campus.
