Last Tuesday afternoon, a fully loaded Pepsi truck crushed an
innocent pupil to death on Ireshe Road area of Ikorodu Lagos as he
was heading home from school.
The skull of 10-year-old Toheeb Abdullahi was smashed by the
rear tire of the truck carrying crates of Pepsi soft drinks.
An eyewitness, Suraju Sumonu, said “The kids were coming back
from school when the rough edge of the Pepsi truck hooked the
boy’s shirt.
“There was traffic on the road, so the driver of the truck did not
know what had happened. He drove forward without knowing the
boy had fallen on the ground and his head close to the tyre.
“The truck broke the boy’s skull. It was such a gory sight that
people had to quickly cover the dead body with cardboards.”
The driver of the truck was arrested on the spot and taken to
Igbogbo police station.
May his soul rest in peace.
