A tragic road accident has claimed the lives of several young candidates who were on their way to sit for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) along the Oyo-Ogbomoso road.

According to reports, the candidates were traveling to their designated examination centers when their vehicle was involved in a fatal crash. The heartbreaking incident has thrown their families, friends, and communities into deep mourning, with many lamenting the loss of such young and promising lives.

Eyewitnesses report that the crash occurred due to high speed and poor road conditions, a recurring problem on the Oyo-Ogbomoso axis, which has long been notorious for fatal accidents.
