Eyewitnesses attributed the crash to excessive speed and alleged reckless driving by the bullion van driver.

The victims were said to have recently completed the Junior Secondary School Certificate Examination, commonly known as Junior WAEC. Although they were from different families, the three students reportedly attended the same school.

The death of the students has reportedly caused grief among their families, schoolmates and members of the Saki community.
