I doubt it, because if do, you will know that the police will simply delete those pictures and say they never existed.

pro01: The problem with NL is and has always been these 'offshore' fools who know nothing about the reality of everyday life here. Some misguided creature ensconced somewhere in the US or UK cannot and should not be telling us about how LASTMA officials should be given the benefit of the doubt. Their academic, cosmetic arguments even make matters worse. As any full, on-the-move Lagosian knows, LASTMA officials are about as credible as policemen (who can hardly be differentiated from armed robbers).

wellmax:
You see, this is the problem I have with
your thinking pattern, so because she is
a banker and a nursing mother, then
she must innocent. You have a long way
to go.
But, I'll let you display this drought of
logical reason, cos the media only
influences oppinions, judgement still
rest with the courts.
That said, I sincerely hope Yinka will be
able τ̅☺ prove her innocence, if she
truly is. Lessons have been learnt.

lanre_front:

If I'm to understand you, after she had
been arrested, she is out of the car and
pictures of the car taken, she ran or
entered back into her car, knocked him
to the ground in trying swerve, then
maybe reversed ( it seems that will be
needed because taking most times
doesn't have enough force to crush an
able-body man to death;maybe old
people) and then crushed him to death.
Then she sped off to hide in Ikota
estate.
You do realize we are talking about a
sane banker, wife and nursing mother
with her baby with her.
I have just one question: Are you for
real?

first things first, reference is being
made to her infant for several
reasons , she had a csection barely 2
mnths back , she was anaemic thus
she didnt have the stamina , the
supposed reckless driver did ! that
said, thank God witnesses are
coming out to say what really
happened , infact a witness in the
danfo bus that crushed the lastma
official is willing to testify …she was
doing a one way( stupid idea) , she
was accosted , while there(in her
car ) a danfo bus runs into a lastma
official that was engaged in a scuffle
with some other guy, danfo speeds
off , guy dissapears into thin air ,
yinka is the only one left at the
scene! lastma officials carry their
wounded colleague( God rest him)
and attempt to put him into yinkas
car , and the bystanders and okada
ppl protest, saying if they do, or she
agrees to it , then she would be held
accountable so no! in all of that
drama she is confused and steps out
afraid that they (lastma ) would
attempt to mob the car( the engine
still running) then a man from
nowhere jumps into the car , as she
sees this she jumps into the
passenger seat, he says she shld seat
tight while he drives the car into
her estate …the lastma guys mobilise
and get back to the estate , physically
beat the guy who drove the car and
drove the car away ( without yinka in
it ) …yinka calls her husband , after
which she immediately thought to
report the incident to the nearest
police station , while she was yet
filing her case, she sees the officer
who drove her car away and she
called the attention of the filing
officer to it , they inturn turn the
tables on her saying she was a
wanted person …that was the
genesis of her journey to panti , her
baby was not with her at the point
of arrest, the infant had to be
brought over to panti to suckle (but
that is beside the point) …has
nothing to do with “ aiding her
innocence ”it is unfortunate what
has happened , and a really messy
situation…. .it is all the more
sickening that lastma would want to
make a scapegoat out of an innocent
woman…. guilty for violating a
traffic offence, YES! but absolutely
innocent of murder charges...

anitank:
Gbam!!!! Just the question I was about to ask before I saw ur post. God bless u

thompsons: The usual trend of towing by Lastma is that they will snap the pix of the about to be towed vehicle.This pix must have been taken by an official because as you can see that a towing vehicle is just by the side of the photo taker.This has gotten out of one of the good officials who wanted justice to prevail.Also judging from the pix,if it were to be an ordinary bystander the deceased must have seen the person or the other officials.

Naval sadiq: Yea i find it very strange that a photos of the lady and the lastma official was taken even before the demise of the official.those people who accused her wrongly should be be apprended by the police and charged to court because it's a serious offence under the law to accuse some one wrongly for a crime he or she did not committ.as for yinka thumbs up to her.she can as well charge the lastma authority to court for accusing her wrongly and in end finding them to avoid future occurence because it has come to my notice that the authority in lagos has a way of victimizing people jst for their own self fish interest.

erico2k2: Fair enough she was been made a scapegoat and the so called LASMA where so dumb, the facts remain the same, if it was against the LAW to drive against traffic at that time, let us not rejoice with her, she should still face the full course of the law cos her single action not only led to the loss of a soul however right or wrong but this big palava
For that guy who see guys in the UK and US as misguided thank you very much, you seem to be misguided as well,you fail to realize most of us grew up in that same Nigeria, went to school there.If those guys had their heads correct what would make a govt official stand in the way of traffic when he risks been ran over

femionasan:

Its so freaking annoying when some people do ITK, the day that story came out in the newspapers the registration number of that vehicle was splashed all over the media. The picture of the vehicle had not even come out at that point. Gosh! its so sickening. LASTMA takes pictures of vehicles when they are about to impounded at the scene of the incident. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!! Everybody is a coach in Nigeria even when they haven't kicked a ball or seen a football game in their lives.

blank: Hmm. Na wa o. People will just sit at their computers and type rubbish.

Let me say it loud and clear, I WAS THERE!!!!!
This is an anonymous forum so I am not afraid of being used as a scapegoat.

I did not get there at the beginning but i got there just before the danfo killed the LASTMA guy.
The woman was making a scene at the side of the road (by which time her husband had joined her).
She refused to hand over her keys to them but they were going to tow it anyway.
I don't know how long they had been there some people there said it had been up to an hour.

The LASTMA guy was making a phone call to his colleagues that stay at Ajah bus stop because he was pointing in that direction and crossing the road.
He was neither looking nor paying attention and a danfo ran him over. I will say it was involuntary manslaughter because it was the fault of the LASTMA guy for not looking at where he was going.
People started gathering, no movement kind of thing.
The main LASTMA contingent was approaching from Ajah at this time.
The woman's husband entered her car with her and reversed quickly and tried to escape to Thomas estate (using the whole confusion of the situation).
The contingent thought he was running because he hit the officer and chased and caught up with them.

I managed to leave that place at that time.
I later heard that the danfo escaped because no one was paying attention to him.
His bus should be easy to identify because it was really damaged as in the windscreen was shattered and blood was on it.

That was what i saw o.
Nobody should call me to be witness o.

blank: It is possible for there to be pictures because people were using their phones taking pictures and videos.
I was more interested in getting the hell out of there in case they start arresting people around.
And I was kind of scared and feeling traumatised by what I just witnessed.

Okija_juju:


Like we know Nigeria is bad, but our own never over rotten like that!
And we have been drumming this point over and over that the picture was most likely taken by LASTMA themselves as its standard practice to take video and picture evidence of the position of the car when it was towed.

Okija_juju:



You really need to step forward as a witness o!!
Although I wount blame you if you dont... Nigerian Police no sabi witness, only accomplice.
But atleast thanks for clarifying the scenario..
