A disturbing incident has been reported at the Rev. Fr. Moses Orshio Adasu University Makurdi (formerly known as Benue State University), prompting an urgent call for information from the public.
According to a Facebook post by Iombul Terhemen Richard, a young lady was attempting to cross the road near the university campus this morning when she was suddenly involved in what has been described as “madness” – an apparent road traffic incident. She sustained injuries and has been rushed to the Benue State Teaching Hospital in Makurdi for medical attention.
The poster described the situation as one of urgency and appealed to anyone who knows the victim or her relations to contact them immediately. A phone number has been provided for concerned individuals to reach out: +234 915 344 1139.
As of the time of the report, the identity of the lady has not been publicly disclosed, and details surrounding the exact circumstances of the accident remain unclear. The post has generated concern among students and members of the university community.
Road accidents involving students crossing busy roads near campuses are a recurring safety issue in many Nigerian universities, often attributed to poor traffic management, speeding vehicles, and inadequate pedestrian infrastructure.
The university community and well-wishers have been urged to support the victim’s quick recovery, with many sending prayers and messages of goodwill.
Anyone with useful information about the incident is encouraged to use the provided contact number to assist the family and authorities. Further updates on the victim’s condition are awaited as she receives treatment at the teaching hospital.
This incident serves as a reminder of the need for improved safety measures around academic institutions in Makurdi and across Benue State.
