Rivers State University Bans Night Driving After Student Death

Rivers State University in Port Harcourt has implemented a ban on night driving on campus from 4 PM to 7 PM after the tragic death of 21-year-old student Eno Udoson, who was allegedly knocked down by a speeding vehicle driven by another student. The university's registrar, Dr.

Idanyingi Daminabo, announced this decision during a press briefing on Friday. The accident, which occurred on Tuesday, involved two students, Darlington Onuaku and Obinna Ikechi, leading to an arrest by the police for further investigation and potential prosecution.

The university had previously introduced speed limits and speed bumps to regulate vehicular movement. Under the new measures, only postgraduate students with valid university identification cards are allowed to drive on campus.

Any student found driving recklessly will face disciplinary action, including vehicle impoundment. The Rivers State Police Command confirmed the arrest of two suspects linked to the incident, emphasizing that those found culpable will face the full weight of the law.
