A tragic accident has rocked the University of Delta, Agbor, claiming the life of Awele Eluemunor, a brilliant final-year nursing student, and leaving two others in critical condition.
According to reports, the horrifying incident occurred when a 100-level female student, who was learning to drive under the supervision of her boyfriend, lost control of the vehicle. The car swerved uncontrollably and struck 24-year-old Awele, killing her on the spot.
