Wednesday, December 10, 2025 - A final-year student of Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo State, has d!ed in a motorcade accident while celebrating the completion of his final examinations.
He was reportedly part of a convoy of fresh graduates who
took to the highway shortly after their signing-out activities on Monday,
December 8, 2025.
Witnesses said the group drove recklessly and failed to
observe basic safety rules during the celebrations.
The tragedy occurred when the deceased attempted to overtake
a moving truck but collided with a stationary vehicle parked along the road.
Confirming the incident on Tuesday, December 9, the
Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Edo Command, Cyril Mathew,
said one person died while five others sustained varying degrees of
injuries.
"The students, after writing their last paper,
took to the road in a convoy. In the process, one of them overtook another
vehicle and rammed into a stationary truck,” he said.
Mathew urged students to prioritise safety and avoid
dangerous post-examination celebrations.
He advised them to “celebrate within campus areas” and
reminded them that “there is life after graduation."
