No matter the verdict, it cannot bring back the death.
Even if she is sentenced to death, it will still not bring back the dead.

eagleeye2:

It was an accident. And unless you have never been involved in one, will you judge her harshly. What will 200Milion do for the family? Bring back their dead brother?

eagleeye2:

I think having fame and wealth cones with a great risk in this country. Cos if Ibinabo has been a poor danfo driver, this case would have dragged this long?

eagleeye2:
You want her to confess to drunk driving and she says NO. that means she is arrogant?
So, the sister is the one telling the truth? oh well their case, their life.

mudiana:
Who come dey lie for this story now. She said she was unconscious and taken to d hospital, anoda story said she took d car papers nd ran away. Somebody that flew so high nd landed on anoda car should have been knocked out from that impact especially if the rider was a woman who according to the story was said to be drunk. I guess somebody helped her cover her tracks while she was taken to the hospital if you ask me. Wat do I even know, I no dey dere when e happen.

Awww……touching but……the reason we have a justice system is that every angle is observed.

The beauty of the justice system is also that technical officials, witnesses and everyone are called to hear their bit before a judgement is given and here are the facts in her case

"The speed that skipped and flipped a jeep over the road demarcation will be considered ‘Reckless and Endangerment‘ because the VIO dept checked the jeep brakes, the engine and all the mechanical and electrical of the jeep but the result shows nothing wrong with the jeep and confirm that the accident as due to ‘OVER SPEEDING‘ in which the result was on record"

Does She take the courts for jokers? How will a car jump over a road divider and you claim you were not over-speeding?

"After the accident, Ibinabo left the scene of the accident without checking for any survivors, she took the license plate and registration out of the car and fled from the scene, that was considered “HIT AND RUN”. The people at the scene of the accident recognized her as Ibinabo Febresima, and stated she was drunk.”Driving Under Influence” of whatever she had "

Muliple witnesses confirm that she left the scene by herself and removed the car plates. They named her and testified to this

"The State Department of Transportation has to use the VIN number to locate the Owner of the jeep, in which the owner was Daniel Wilson. That was my very first time of hearing the name of Ibinabo Febresima. The Doctor died at the scene of the accident because the jeep was on top of the Honda accord driven by him and they couldn’t save him on time because of the seat belt and the weight of the jeep, the brother and the other family friend in that car had survived. Did she know the state of mind and the emotional instability of the people involved in that accident up till now, Ibinabo has never been in a Comma. "

Her jeep was so high in the air, it jumped over a read divider and landed on another car. The last time I saw this was "fast and the furious"
She wants to argue that she has been depressed, thibk of the family, the patient, what the country lost.

"After all the evidences against her, with the result of the VIO by the State department of Transportation, The DPP office took over and charged her to court and she hired Festus Keyamo in which after reviewing the case he withdrew by saying he cannot represent her because it’s a bad case.

Even lawyers stayed away from her case cos they knew it was hopeless

She said and l quote “I CAN’T DO THAT, BECAUSE IS GOING TO DAMAGE MY CAREER” what an ego, she cannot apologize publicly, I feel like kicking her ass. She’s worried about her stupid career, What happened to the career of the Doctor, who happened to be a ‘MEDICAL DIRECTOR AND THE HEAD OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL REHABILITATION MEDICINE AT GENERAL HOSPITAL LAGOS.

This part is just lovely. Very lovely

All in all, instead of appealing for public sympathy, allow the supreme court give judgement and we can finally close this.

But Ibinabo should know that contesting for public office in light of this is terrible for optics. Surely her handlers cant be that insensitive to put her up to this and her endorsing it even before the supreme court gives judgement is just a show of insensitivity

hush15:


I pity her honestly, and her explanation as regards how it happened, i can related. We have lots of mad people on the road daily. People just drive anyhow and race while at it without being considerate to other road users. So sad...

If it is a civil case, she should keep pleading with the family for withdrawal of the case but it was stupid for her peopme to be pushing her for political ambition. Am sure the reason would be one mediocre thinking like that but honestly, i think the family should get compensated and move on. She will take responsibility of father over that family be that.

ManFromJos:
The only thing i was able to read in this long epistle is, "I'm sorry this, i am sorry that".
abeg 12years is a very very long time. you could have done this since, instead of openning old wounds like you just did. Any ways, we only have now sha.. so we should not forget to always make it right.. whenever we can

bamoski:
Nigerians are unforgiving demons.

She should just move on with her life

TheKingIsHere:


I will answer you later to show that you just dislike the lady as your points don't make sense.

OlowoB:


You made sense until you said “contesting for public office is terrible” you must be joking right? 12 years.... so she should not move on with her life cos the case is still in court? Let the courts decide but she cannot continually put her life on hold. While waiting for the decision of the court (we all know how long that can take) let her move on with her life and do whatever she wants.

It’s painful to the Giwa family but life goes on.... this is the truth.

Yankiss:

The sentence is correct. Analogy: I shall have stayed here three years in two days time.

victrick105:


no be small demons o.... the kind of insensitive comments You See on nairaland shows the way most Nigerians reason... she has apologized, it was an accident, it could have been anyone...why not let by gones be by gones... the dead can never come back

texazzpete:


You do not need to take her 'explanation' as gospel truth. There were MULTIPLE witnesses to the accident who all testified against the lady, with an entirely different account than what she provided.

I too feel some pity for her...she's made a hash of things right after the accident and putting her selfish interest first in the immediate aftermath ensured the late doctor's family remain embittered towards her. But she needs to realize that some things just can't be wished away.

One accident cost Ted Kennedy a shot at the US presidency for life. Mistakes of his youth could never be erased. It happens.

agabusta:




Continue laughing and be involved in a road crash that becomes a court case, the shit will get real when a senior VIO and FRSC official comes to testify on the speed limit of the road you were driving on.

Even leaving speed limit, Nigeria Road traffic laws says you must drive responsibly and not endanger other people's lives. This is open ended and subject to the interpretation of Road Safety officials and eye witnesses. It's not difficult to fry someone driving anyhow. Everybody detests such driving. Especially pedestrians and bystanders.

nairalanduseles:
anybody wey read the whole epistle is f..king jobless

cheaphost:

I tried to avoid hitting those boys in the red car. I swerved and lost control in that moment, the impact dived my vehicle into inbound lane.. Dr. Giwa was inbound, thus he drove into my car and both cars collided.

Ego2:
we don't pray for such buh what is done is done so should we kill her?

if your ans is yes lemme ask you this should I also kill the doctors and nurses who watch my mum die without doing the needful?

texazzpete:


This is not about bringing back the dead. This is about justice. Are you a child, that you do not know this?




See above.



Are you actually so deluded as to claim that celebrities and rich people have it worse with law enforcement than regular people? Is this a case of self-brainwashing?
You actually got something right for once. A poor danfo driver who commits a DUI hit-and-run on a very respected medical doctor from a prominent family would have been speedily found guilty and sentenced. In fact, the danfo driver would have showed MUCH more remorse instead of trying to manage the truth and evade justice over selfish career concerns.




Yes, people expect a confession as a sign of true repentance and regret. People expect the first reaction to be much better. Most certainly the family are aggrieved that this lady fled without stopping to care for the doctor and that her initial series of moves were geared towards saving her career vs genuine moves for forgiveness.

Truthsbitter:

there's a reason for law....
I guess you will also ask the law to let of someone that violently rape a female relation of yours?

let her be judge for her inhuman actions ..and I hope you know everything she wrote in her speech is a lie?
her actions have always been "insult upon injury" against the docs family.

eagleeye2:

For 12 years, we have heard only the Family's side of the story. And I say it's good she has spoken out. Almost everything we know about this case, is a one sided account until now.
