The student, whose identity was yet to be confirmed as of press time, was reported to be part of a motorcade of fresh graduates who took to the highway on Monday after their signing-out activities.
Eyewitnesses revealed that the jubilant students failed to observe basic safety rules during the celebration.

The Edo State Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Cyril Mathew, confirmed the incident, stating that one person died while five others sustained injuries and were taken to the hospital for treatment.
