I AM ANGRY AND SADDENED AT THE SAME TIME.
I just read that the driver of the trailer that dropped a container and killed 3 innocent souls in Ojuelegba has been charged to court.
In the story in Linda, the guy was charged thus:
" The driver, Wasiu Adeleke was dragged before the court by men of the Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department of Lagos State Police Command, Panti-Yaba on an 11 count charge of gross negligence and reckless disregard for human life, reckless and dangerous driving,
driving in public highway without valid driver’s license, a valid MOT Test Certificate, road worthiness certificate, vehicle license and unlawful damage. ".
PLEASE NOTE THE LAST FEW LINES-
1. HE DIDNT HAVE A VALID DRIVER'S LICENSE!
2. HE DIDNT CARRY A VALID MOT TEST CERTIFICATE (AKA ROAD WORTHINESS CERTIFICATE)!
3. HE DIDNT HAVE A VEHICLE LICENSE!
MY GOD!!!
I AM PRETTY SURE HE DIDNT HAVE INSURANCE EITHER!
YET LAW ABIDING CITIZENS ARE HARASSED EVERYDAY BY NINCOMPOOP AND GOD FORSAKEN POLICEMEN, VIO, FRSC, LASTMA, FEMA AND ALL SORTS OF UNIFORMED ANIMALS IN HUMAN SKIN!
EVEN WHEN YOU ARE IN A BRAND NEW CAR!
I AM A GENTLEMAN, BUT GOD WILL JUDGE EVERY VAGABOND IN POWER THAT HAS ALLOWED WASIU ADELEKE TO PLY THE ROADS TILL THIS UGLY EVENT TRANSPIRED.
I WISH I COULD CURSE THEM, BUT I HAVE SWORN NEVER TO CURSE. SO I LEAVE THEM TO GOD.
I WON'T PLEAD FOR WASIU EITHER, HE IS JUST A VICTIM OF A SYSTEM THAT HAS FAILED US AS A PEOPLE IN SO MANY WAYS. HE COULD HAVE AVOIDED THIS.
GOD BLESS OUR NATION.
GOD JUDGE OUR DETRACTORS FROM NATIONHOOD.
