The commercial motorcyclist carrying Chisom, who was catching a glimpse of the early accident, however, got distracted and lost control of the motorcycle. Consequently a bus coming from behind ran over them.
It was learnt that they were taken to the school medical centre, but they were later referred to the teaching hospital of the university where Chisom was declared dead.
OAU spokesman Abiodun Olarewaju confirmed the incident.
He said: “We have informed the police. We sympathise with the bereaved family.”
