Driver Surrenders To Police After Crushing LAWMA Officials To Death by Kuginzi: 2:39pm On Nov 14, 2023 |
By Naomi China The driver of the Honda Saloon car with number plate EPE 984 DV that rammed into the Lagos State Waste Management Authority sweepers while they were discharging their duties along Gbagada Expressway on Monday morning has turned himself in to the police. The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the development to our correspondent on Tuesday. Hundeyin said the driver would be charged to court on Tuesday for manslaughter. He said, “The owner of the Honda Saloon car turned himself in yesterday (Monday) night and he will be taken to court today for manslaughter. "It was not murder, it was an accident and was not deliberate, so he will be charged with manslaughter.” It was earlier reported that the driver after crushing the two LAWMA sweepers took off leaving his car. He was reported to have rammed into the sweepers while allegedly trying to escape from officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority. However, the Ministry of Transportation in a statement on Monday night denied the involvement of LASTMA officials in the accident, stating that anyone found culpable after investigation will be punished accordingly. The statement partly read, “Immediate investigation revealed that no LASTMA officer was involved in the unfortunate incident. “The Ministry of Transportation wants to assure members of the public that the outcome of the police investigation will be made public and anyone found culpable would be made to face the consequences of the law.” https://punchng.com/breaking-driver-surrenders-to-police-after-crushing-lawma-officials-to-death/

LASTMA hooligans looked for a way to exonerate themselves by all means. That aside, the Lagos State government should enforce the use of safety equipment like reflective clothings, cones etc by their street sweepers so drivers can see them on time especially in the dark. I personally, nearly hit one at Lekki while driving home one night but saw her on time luckily. LASTMA hooligans should also be called to order 59 Likes 6 Shares |

Given the reason for crushing two humans to death, he should be charged with second degree murder, not manslaughter. 2 Likes 1 Share |

The children of the deceased has been permanently deprived of the “measureless contributions” of their both parents to their lives as a result of this death caused by this reckless driver... Section 28 of the Road Traffic Law clearly provides that where a reckless and dangerous driving has caused the death of a person, the accused person shall be guilty of an offence and is liable on conviction to imprisonment of seven years... I Pray The Government Compensates The Bereaved Family..... 2 Likes 2 Shares |

We must put a STOP to all these avoidable and preventable deaths on our road. He will be charged for manslaughter and not murder. Either which way, he is done for. 9 Likes 3 Shares |

God! After taking a life, he cannot give. Why can't he just simply obey instructions. Well Judgement await him. Same way if you are also ignoring the call of God to you to repent from your sins and your wayward lifestyle. Judgement await you on the final day. Repent and turn away from sins Give your life to Jesus before it is too late, to avoid eternal damnation and hell fire. 4 Likes |

I hope the LASTMA officials who were chasing him will also be held accountable. They are all culpable in the deaths of those innocent people whose only crime was being in the wrong place at the wrong time. |
