A young woman identified as Eno was killed on Tuesday after being struck by a speeding vehicle in a convoy near the Rivers State University campus in Port Harcourt.
The victim sustained fatal head injuries after hitting the ground on impact. Witnesses said several occupants of the convoy fled the scene when it became clear she had died.
Security personnel from the university and officers of the Nkpolu Police Division quickly cordoned off exit points around the campus. Two suspects, Onunaka and Daniel, were later apprehended. They were driving a Toyota Camry Spider and a Mercedes-Benz E300 respectively.
