Truck Driver Flees After Fatal Accident in Ilorin

A tragic incident occurred in Ilorin where a truck driver allegedly killed a student named Sheu on Friday near the Government Secondary School area. Following the accident, the driver fled the scene, and Sheu's body was later discovered on a bridge in the Oko-Olowo area.

The Commissioner of Police, Ojo Adekimi, confirmed the incident and stated that a tricycle operator named Basit, who assisted in transporting the body, has been arrested. Sheu had borrowed a motorcycle from a brother to buy clothes for his side business when the accident happened.

His family grew concerned when he did not return the motorcycle, leading them to search for him. They eventually identified his body from a photograph after it was buried as unidentified.

The police are working to apprehend the truck driver and motor boy, both employees of Conoil, as the investigation continues.
