‘N10m for 12 victims’ — NANS gives GUO Logistics 72-hour ultimatum

The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, has given GUO Logistics 72 hours to address an alleged N10 million compensation offer for 12 victims of a truck accident that reportedly claimed six lives, including five students from Gombe State.

NANS said another six victims had remained hospitalised for three weeks following the accident, which it attributed to the alleged careless driving of a GUO Logistics truck.

The student body condemned the proposed compensation, stressing that the N10 million was meant for all 12 victims combined and not each individual.

“Not ₦10 million each, but ₦10 million for all 12 victims!” NANS said.

The association demanded that GUO Logistics engage the affected families, take responsibility and provide adequate compensation to the families of the deceased and injured victims.

NANS warned that the company would face a confrontational escalation if it failed to take the necessary steps and engage the families within 72 hours.

“We will pursue justice until it is served,” the association declared.

It added: “The lives of Nigerian students matter. Their families deserve justice, not tokenism!”
