Yinka Johnson, the banker accused of crushing a
LASTMA official to death on Friday August 10th has
been freed of the murder charge. The police, some
LASTMA officials, eye witnesses and some
members of the press visited the scene of the
incident yesterday Monday August 13th to
investigate further and afterwards all agreed that
Yinka's car was not the car that hit and killed 33
year old Hammed Balogun. Eye-witnesses,
including the one inside the bus that allegedly
killed hammed, gave the police a clear account of
what really happened that Friday.
After the investigation yesterday, the police
officially dropped the murder charge and instead
arraigned her for driving recklessly.
Yinka Johnson was brought to the Igbosere
Magistrate Court today to face a one-count charge
of driving recklessly. She was granted bail and
ordered to pay fine. The case was adjourned to
Sept 3rd.
