Two schoolchildren die, others lose consciousness inside a school bus in Lagos

Two pupils have reportedly suffocated to death while others lost consciousness inside their school bus in the Aguda area of Lagos State.

PremiumTimes gathered that the incident happened on Friday when the driver of the unnamed school bus, Odunsa Mandala, was taking the pupils back to their homes after the close of school.

It was reported that the pupils repeatedly complained to the driver that they were not comfortable but Mandala allegedly ignored them until most of them lost consciousness.

The driver, however, raised the alarm when he saw the condition of the pupils and they were rushed to a nearby hospital, while some of them were rushed to the Lagos State Teaching Hospital and others taken to Randle hospital. Meanwhile, two of the pupils lost their lives.

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the tragic incident.
