On Sunday July 19, two female students of the University of Benin, Ugbowo Campus were hit by an oncoming vehicle with the inscription “Thunder Storm Patrol 28″ – while they were crossing the Lagos/Benin Expressway which is directly in front of the school gate. 200 level Philosophy student Halim Rita Awele, (pictured after the cut) died from injuries sustained, while the other victim is in critical condition, battling internal bleeding at a hospital in the state. Graphic photo beyond this point. Aggrieved students of the university have taken to the streets to protest against the death of Halima Rita. The students are also demanding that the school and state government provide speed breakers and fly over to prevent re occurrence of avoidable deaths.
