heart breaking! Three Unilag Undergrads Die Celebrating Friend’s Engagement

Left: Bride to be Iyabo, Right the late Funmilayo Adelowotan

A Unilag student identified as Iyabo recently got engaged and her friends decided to celebrate with her.
The party was held off campus on Sunday 30th of June 2013 , and the students-the bride to be, her cousin Funmilayo Adelowotan, friends Eniola Abiodun and Temiloluwa Osindero-left for the party from a private Hostel (Emerald) located  in front of Unilag main gate.
The party went well. Iyabo’s fiance bade the girls goodbye while his younger brother offered to give the students a lift back to school.

Sadly however, on their way back they were involved in a very fatal car accident along international airport Road in Ikeja, Lagos. A trailer lost control and hit their car, killing the driver(Iyabo’s fiance younger brother), Funmi Adelowotan ( Iyabo’s cousin) and their friend Eniola Abiodun on the spot.
The bride to be Iyabo and Temiloluwa survived, but were badly injured. They are currently receiving treatment at LASUTH.
Until her death, Funmilayo Adelowotan was on a First Class CGPA of 4.71, she was fondly called ‘Miss Green’ by students and lecturers in her faculty. She was a 200Level student of Quantitative surveying(Faculty of Environmental Science).
Eniola Abiodun  was a 400 level student of Mass Communications.

It’s really heart wrenching that such a joyous occasion ended like this.
My heart goes out to the families of the deceased and pray God gives Iyabo and her fiance the strength to deal with the loss.
May the souls of the departed rest in peace, Amen.
