According to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, an eyewitness said the deceased, who went to Ayegbaju Market in the metropolis to buy pepper, was returning home when he was killed.
The vehicle was said to have lost control while on speed and skipped off the highway before ramming into the deceased.
The grey coloured SUV with registration number, Lagos JJJ 243 EF was said to have a middle age man, his wife and kid as occupants.
While the occupants were quickly ferried away to safety, an angry mob set the vehicle ablaze.
Another eyewitness, who knew the deceased, said he was preparing for his Junior Secondary School Certificate Examination before he met his untimely death.
“The vehicle was coming from Ogo-Oluwa area and rammed into the boy, killing him instantly,’’ she said.
Mr Rasaki Azeez, the father of the deceased and Deputy Chairman of NURTW at Fakunle Motor Park in Osogbo, said he could not believe his son was dead.
Azeez, who was devastated by the incident, said sympathisers came to call him at the park to retrieve the body of his son.
He said that the corpse had been deposited at the morgue of Ladoke Akintola University hospital, Osogbo.
Last week we also reported that there was confusion and chaos in Ikorodu area of Lagos after a BRT bus accidentally killed a student of the C&S primary school in Ogolonto/Majidun. The pupil whose head was smashed in the process of the crash died instantly on the spot.
It really sad and painful that a young student that left home for school that morning won’t return to parents again.
