LASU Student Azeezat Abdul Rashe Killed in Hit-and-Run
Azeezat Abdul Rashe, a 300-level student at Lagos State University (LASU), was tragically killed in a hit-and-run accident in the Igando area of Lagos on Saturday, April 11, 2026. The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) and the Joint Campus Council (JCC) of Lagos State expressed profound grief over her death, describing it as heartbreaking and reflective of the vulnerabilities faced by Nigerian students.
They called for a transparent and thorough investigation into the incident, emphasizing that merely arresting the suspect would not suffice. The organizations urged the police to provide clear updates on the case's progress and warned against any attempts to politicize the tragedy.
LASU management also expressed condolences and encouraged students to remain calm while assuring that they would monitor the case closely to ensure justice is served. This incident follows a previous fatal crash in November that claimed the lives of three LASU students.
