On Tuesday, a heavy-duty truck ran over several students of the Ojodu Grammar School in Lagos, killing and injuring many of them.

Eyewitnesses said the truck driver drove carelessly to avoid Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIO) before it crushed the students on their way home in the Ojodu-Berger area of Lagos.

Following the unfortunate incident, several students of the school took to the streets, protesting the killing of their schoolmates, and in response, police officers shot tear gas cannisters into the school compound.
