The Lagos State Government has shut down Bab Fafunwa Millennium School, Ojodu, formerly Ojodu Grammar School until January 2022.

Commissioner for Education, Folashade Adefisayo, announced the closure when she visited the school on Wednesday.

A trailer had on Tuesday crushed some pupils of the school. Some of the students died on the spot, while some others were injured.

The incident sparked outrage among the students and inhabitants of the area.

Early this morning, students of the school protested the death of their colleagues.

Also, some parents trooped to the school on Wednesday to protest the death of the students.

They lamented that school was not immediately shut down after the incident.

One of them said, “Why should the school reopen. The street is still smelling of the flesh of dead bodies. The exam should be postponed and students given automatic promotion is possible.”


While weeping, a mother lamented that “It is embarrassing that the school reopened today. How will the government do such? What do they want other mothers to be thinking of. My daughter is not in school and I have come to tell them that she must not fail. If they are heartless, I am not.”

The era of shutting down.

The land needs some serious cleansing

Saddening

Why will they shut down a school that was not the cause of the tragedy. Instead for them to scrap the LASTMA that has been causing accidents all these while. Misplacement of priorities.

Too bad

My condolences to the family

Is Lagos now the Kenya, Zimbabwe or South Africa of Nigeria?
Why always in the news for terrible reasons?

Circumstances surrounding the death of those students isn't one that requires feather weight handling.
Trailer crush student to death, you still open school. Closing it for atleast 3days wouldn't disrupt the academic calendar. We're really loosing our conscience and sympathy as Nigerians.
