Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke said on Thursday that he has been briefed about the death of a member of the library staff at the University of Ilesa (UNILESA).
The victim Fanimo Ogunmokun died on Wednesday after a cashew container fell on her car.
The accident happened along Ilesa/Ibodi Expressway, a few meters away from the university’s main entrance.
In a post on X, Adeleke said he would work on ways to ensure such does not happen again.
“Yes. I was briefed about the unfortunate accident yesterday. My prayers are with family of the deceased. I have directed commissioner for transportation and all relevant agencies to find out the owner of the said truck, the circumstances of the accident and how to ensure such does not happen again,” he wrote.

“One Mrs Fanimo Ogunmokun was killed after cashew truck container fell on her car. She is a staff of Unilesa who is retiring this month from service,” said Adeleke.
“The truck, which belongs to an agro industry in Ilesa, was later lifted up to recover the corpse of Mrs Fanimokun. The corpse has been removed from the scene.”
