The people to blame is the people who issued driving license to epileptic patience to enter road witha vehicle and the road safety who didn't check is driving license to know if he has one or not

Epileptic person is not supposed to drive a vehicle in the first place
That is the more reason why he must be charged and prosecuted for manslaughter though his lawyers can enter a plea bargain for a reduced sentence due to his health issues but he will smell jail at least for some few years with a strict warning not to go close to a wheelbarrow in his life .

What if he forged his health certificate or simply gave a false information about the state of his health ?

Does FRSC demand heath certificate before issuing license or what are we insinuating here?

No he dosnt.
Truckpusher:
This is total negligence and recklessness.
An epileptic patient that is old enough to become a driver is already aware of his health condition and the likely implication if operating a machine yet he decided to become a commercial driver - That man deserves a jail time.

Multiple deaths of passengers and pedestrians in Kaduna city was averted Friday as a commercial driver of an intra-city bus services lost control as a result of epilepsy attack while conveying passengers from the popular Central Market towards Kakuri end of the metropolis.

However, an eyewitness account said, the driver killed one of the pedestrians who was identified as a female street beggar.

It was gathered that the said epileptic driver lost control from Jos road side of Ahmadu Bello Way onto Gwandu road, about 500 metres apart, with loud noise from the wobbling vehicle.

Several passersby were said to have sustained injuries, and were rushed to different hospitals in the metropolis by Good Samaritans.
According to an eye witness,

Ibrahim Ali “We were sitting in front of this shop, all of a sudden, we saw a bus skidding off Ahmadu Bello Way, from Jos road area to as far to Gwandu road area, before Katsina roundabout.

“The driver was foaming at the mouth as soon as he was brought out of the vehicle, and from all indications, he was suffering from epilepsy, and some people rushed him to hospital.

“One female beggar by the road side was killed by the driver, and many people were injured, and taken to hospitals,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) claimed ignorance of the accident, saying that the Commission did not have record of such accident.

Efforts to get the Kaduna State Police Command Spokesman; DSP Abubakar Zubairu to respond on the accident was fruitless as he did not pick his phone as at the time of filing this report.

I happened to be at Katsina Road Roundabout wen the accident occurred and nobody died but there were lots of casualties most of whom are roadside sellers and beggers. I cannot authoritatively state the cause of the accident but some witness likened it to spiritual attack, break failure and reckless driving. It is a known fact that kaduna drivers be it commercial or private car owners are reckless drivers inclusive of keke napep and bike riders. I entered Kaduna wednesday night and I have seen about 4 accident not to mention that a heavy duty truck brushed my car with his tyres on thursday morning.......They honestly need to check dem Kaduna drivers for drug usage and for their licence as it seems Oga driver radio presentation hasn't done any good to them

May God help us! We need to subject our drivers to period medical examination to avert these type of deadly occurrences!

If you have seizures while awake that affect your consciousness, you are allowed to drive when you have been seizure free for at least 12 months. The 12 month seizure-free period applies from the date of your most recent seizure. You must also meet the following conditions:

- As far as you are able, you follow your doctor’s advice about your treatment and check-ups for epilepsy, and
- The driving agency is satisfied that as a driver you are not likely to be a source of danger to the public.

Before anyone calls me insensitive. . . You don't develop epilepsy overnight.
How did he get his license?
The way and manner at which agencies operate with utter lacklustre in the North, should be put under stern scrutiny.
