A truck on Monday crushed to death two final-year students of Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic, Ikot Osurua in Ikot Ekpene Local Government Area of the state. The deceased, Abasifreke Okon and Irene Edwin, both close friends, were National Diploma students of laboratory science technology. They were ferried back from school on a motorcycle when the truck rammed into them along the Aba-Ikot Ekpene Highway. The incident which occurred 24 hours before their final diploma examination prompted the management of the institution to postpone the examination.
