The 300-level Student, Promise, was said to have been sleeping in his father’s house when the heavy-duty truck rammed into the building and crushed him.
In an emotional laden voice, father of the deceased, Mr Farotimi described the loss as devastating, saying he is left with nothing as his son was killed, and his house was also destroyed in the accident.
