The General Manager of LASTMA Mr Bolaji Oreagba who stated that it was a 'man-made' accident which could have been prevented if over-speeding was avoided.

He maintained that the government embarked on regular public education on danger inherent in over-speeding by both private, commercial and trucks drivers across the State.

My Oreagba however warned every motoring public to always ensure that their vehicles are in good condition, particularly the break before driving them on Lagos roads.

What is the legal reference for arresting someone with used diapers because last time I checked, the constitution does not acknowledge fetishism.


If there was no blood on the diapers to arouse foul play or intent to commit harm or any harm committed... This is wrong!
