A truck accident allegedly killed six people, including five students from Gombe State. The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has given GUO Logistics 72 hours to respond to a claim that the company offered N10 million in compensation for twelve fatalities.
The collision, which NANS stated was caused by the alleged reckless driving of a GUO Logistics truck, left six more victims hospitalised for three weeks.
Proposed compensation was met with strong opposition from student bodies, who emphasised that the N10 million was intended for the 12 victims collectively, not for each person.
Rather of ₦10 million per victim, NANS demanded ₦10 million for all twelve.
After the tragedy, the group urged that GUO Logistics reach out to the victims’ families, accept responsibility, and compensate them adequately.
If the corporation does not engage the families and take the required actions within 72 hours, NANS threatened to escalate the situation to a hostile level.
“Until justice is served, we will pursue it,” the group proclaimed.
“The lives of Nigerian students matter,” it added. Their loved ones need real change, not lip service!
