The Ogun State Police Command on Monday said that it had arraigned the driver of the late Ogun State Secretary to the State Government, Chief Olumayowa Olukoya, who died in a car crash penultimate Sunday.

The accident happened when the Honda Odyssey had a burst tyre at Onipepeye, on Abeokuta-Sagamu Expressway. The car somersaulted resulting in the death of the late Olukoya.

Speaking on Monday, the Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Femi Awoyale, said the police had not breached any protocol in arraigning the driver.

He said it would have been a different case if Mr. Taiwo Olaifa, the driver died in the accident which also claimed the life of the police orderly of the late SSG.

The state Commissioner for Finance, Mr. Kehinde Sogunle, survived the accident with minor injuries.

Awoyale said, “It is not a new thing. We arraigned the man at Isabo Magistrate Court on last week for dangerous driving and manslaughter. But this is not something we can begin to announce to everybody. We have handed over the case to the prosecutor. So, we have done our job. It is in line with laid down procedure.”

Opinions of residents are, however, divided over the case as some residents wondered if the police would have arraigned Olaifa’s corpse if the driver had died also in the accident.

Lawyers in the house what is your opinion.
