It was a horrific scene at the Glorious International Academy on Ovom, off Opobo Road in the Ogbor Hill area of Aba, the Abia capital, as a lorry rammed into a school building filled with children.
No less than 7 children were left dead in the accident, which occurred yesterday, and about 20 more were severely injured.
The students were said to have been in school for the end of year celebrations in preparation for the Christmas holiday.
Reportedly, "so far we have been able to rescue some of the pupils. Four pupils died on the spot; three died inside the tricycle that was taking them to the hospital, 20 others sustained bruises and had fractured bones.”
The victims were taken to Living Word Hospital beside the Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) on Aba-Ikot Ekpene Road.
