AlvinOO7: If you dey drive carefully for nigerian roads you would have noticed its a common phenomenon, some people cross road haphazardly as if they have immune to crash |

That was on paper, I believe he didn't wait at all. How can you knocked someone and can't find the person but police can found the body. I don't believe that he only said that to show compassion Quest7777: 1 Like |

Hakeem66: A pedestrian ran out to cross the road while I was oncoming at full speed. I couldn't see her on time because she had been standing in front of a truck parked by the side of the road. I thank God I was able to swerve on time and apply the brakes. Some people just seem to have a death wish |

AlvinOO7: That's Nigeria police for you. That's indirectly telling us that they are already tactically throwing away the man's potential alibi when and if the matter gets to court. Journalists and Police are like cat and mouse, and I hope the police has not found a veritable grounds to "deal with" the man 1 Like |

Dididrumz: Now the police should also do the right thing and be fair and objective, instead of trying to milk the situation (and the man) for all it's worth. A toxicology test of the deceased should also be carried out. |

sukkot:. And you're still talking like you don't know what an accident is? Have you never had a situation where someone suddenly ran out in front of your car? |

sukkot:What baffles me is that he said he didn’t see any body after you know that you have knocked down somebody, it’s either he didn’t wait at all to search for the knockdown person may be he would have been urgently assisted medically or he was afraid of being mobbed by the people, it’s 2pm broad daylight light for heaven sake… the story is not adding up |

Re: Journalist Reports Himself At Police Station After His Car Hit And Killed A Man by aremubabs: 8:38am On Feb 23 |
AlvinOO7: They are not trying to change it to a hit and run. They already accepted that he reported the case himself, so no hit-and-run claim here. What they are trying to do is see if they can identify negligence and see what type of manslaughter to charge him with. One thing the police don't like is a waste of their time. That is why they ask many questions. They don't want to get to court and have the judge start lecturing them about incompetence or scolding them for a poorly carried out investigation and watery case. Just like the police, the court too don't like their time being wasted. They can fine you for wasting the court's time. For me, this case needs thorough investigation. If we say because the man reported himself then he should be released, what if his first intention was to run, but fear made him report himself eventually? The statistics is that if you hit a person while doing 50km/hr, they have a 20% chance of surviving. Supposing this journalist was doing 50km/hr, there is a high chance that the victim was still alive, but he died when help did not come on time because the journalist claimed he could not see the victim until the police came and found the body. This can be a charge of negligent homicide. Negligent homicide may not be as serious a crime as vehicular homicide, but it is a criminal charge nevertheless. My point is that the journalist might not be entirely blameless. He might even be overspeeding. After all, he was going for a meeting, and had already wasted 2 hours on the road blocked by protesters. 2 Likes |

tabaralph:the man is just a typical reckless bad driving Nigerian . That's all it is. Most likely texting his hoelosho and driving at the same time or something crazy like that. Over speeding etc. Just a reckless human being |

Quest7777: Jungle justice might have been metted out on him if he had stopped. Also, it's easy to judge when you're not the concerned party, the initial shock and fear is enough to make anyone run. God forbid you find yourself in such a situation but you know deep inside your heart you probably wouldn't wait if nobody was there to identify you or your vehicle. |
Re: Journalist Reports Himself At Police Station After His Car Hit And Killed A Man by aremubabs: 8:56am On Feb 23 |
AlvinOO7: You can understand now why people hardly report this case. How can a police officer say something that foolish? Does he not know that some people commit suicide by simply walking straight in front of an incoming car? In fact, a police officer should never consider anything related to an accident as immaterial. 2 Likes |
