The Federal Road Safety Service (FRSC) has released information about the incident involving Ojodu Grammar School students.
On Tuesday afternoon, an unconfirmed number of Ojodu Grammar School students were killed when a speeding truck crushed them.
According to reports, the driver was being pursued by FRSC officials when he lost control and killed the students.
However, the FRSC Lagos command spokesperson, Olabisi Sonusi, stated in a statement that its officials had no involvement in the tragedy.
He explained that the articulated truck lost control at the Grammar School Bus Stop and that his men intervened only after the crash.
“After the accident, the men of the FRSC were called upon by passersby to help intervene after the crash happened.
“The general public should disregard the disgruntled information being circulated by some unscrupulous elements that FRSC men caused the crash.
“We want to place on record that our men were not in any way involved in the cause of the crash as patrol activities were not ongoing along that axis as of the time of the crash,” the statement read.
