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.

Non criminal homicide.

End time epilepsy

End time accident

Hmmmmm

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.

Hmmm, its well.

Epileptic person is not supposed to drive a vehicle in the first place

That man is a hazard and should never sit behind a wheel from today onwards. In a court case he's guilty of manslaughter and's liable to serve a sentence, although a reduced one, behind bars - the length mostly acertained on whether he knew beforehand of his condition or if it was a one time thing.

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.
