RIP....this is a warning to those of us that might be sitting at the back seat, use ur seatbelt. Seatbelt isn't ment for those in the front.
That is why his driver and ADC didn't die

They all fit into this suv because it has 3 rows of seats so its obviously a 7 seater. However what shocks me is how death singled out only the family and left the outsiders alive. The chances of death taking just him, wife and son and sparing the driver, pa and orderly is 1 in 100,000. The more reason why people would assume something spiritually diabolical took place.

Driver n Orderly wd have on seatbelt. D rest may not havebeen wearing seatbelts cos from d pic we saw, a body was ejected from d vehicle

Talking about seat belt, I've observed that it's only the front seats passengers, i.e. the driver and the person next to him that usually use the seat belt. Hardly would you see others use it. Even the FRSC hardly enforces this aspect of road safety. And that perhaps explained why the driver, orderly, who apparently was occupying the front seat, survived the accident.

I totally agree with you.

Most time front seat passangers like driver and person next to him wear their seat belts complusorily bt people at d back seat most times don't and during d course of an accident get thrown out of d car and badly battered in d car. Those on seat belts remain intact unless in rare cases.

It happen to a frnd of mine and only d gal at d back seat didn't survive cos she Ws thrown out of d car. Other got varying degree of inguries.

When I saw dat back tire totally gone on an earlier thread I suspected that Ws d cause of d accident bt then this is a Brandnew car with new tyres. God knows best. Quite sad

That Lexus is not up to 2 years. I guess that should be a 2015 Lexus LX 570. The explosion may be as a result of over inflated tires.

Or running over a deep pothole.

This is very very sad for us. The man is a member of my church...Foundation Faith Church, Utako Central, Abuja. That is the parish were the founder, Archbishop Sam Amaga preaches. This man take certain responsibilities in the church which sometimes brings him to the pulpit. His daughter who just graduated is a gospel singer. The man is a devout christian and a steadfast believer. I wonder why he ended like this. I can remember the last service I saw him in attendance. He usually sat in the front row
They are in a better place. Rip to him, wife and son. It's really sad. I came to know about him after his brilliant performance during the ministerial confirmation hearings.

This is truly sad

But how will the driver, orderly, PA & chief detail sustain just injuries while the minister & his family die.

How would they have all been seated in the car that death will choose only them? RIP to the dead.. My heart goes out to the remaining family.

Here's my opinion.

Generally I have noticed on Nigerian roads that SUV drivers have an air of aloofness and invincibility with them. That it's an SUV actually means that its less safer than sedans. The worst vehicle to purchase is one of these SUVs, the proper car for him and his family is Lexus LS450 or S class.

Those that died were not wearing seatbelt, simple. Those that are in hospital did.

Besides that was a very very high speed crash. I never exceed 55mph when driving in Nigeria. Even if one survives the impact itself, who is going to stop and provide medical care, not just any medical care but the proper safe medical care.

I'm also looking at the threads on that rear tire, not convinced that this was standard Toyota issue. The tires on a behemoth like a 570 should be much more studier than that. I think someone used the worn tires, which them got hot at speed and exploded.

Compare the tire on the accident vehicle to this tire from another LX570 from eBay.

The accident vehicle has worn overinflated tires with threads gone from the center ridge.

Am sure the 2 people in front (driver and ordely) were on seat belts. That would have saved them in this case of overturning. The PA who probably sat with the boy on third row is the one who strangely survived. Thats because i dont expect him to have worn seat belt but surving an accident like that is strange.

SUV accidents are more fatal especially if seat belts is not used. My office experienced this in a toyota prado. My bosses who sat on the back seat were seriously hurt while the driver and my colleague who wore seat belts only had a bruise. On of my boss has been confined to a wheel chair and no sex for the rest of his life after series of suregeries all over the world.

Thats why i personally hate SUV's.

There are deep pot holes on that Abj kad lane. I lost a tire to one a month ago. They probably hit one and probably over inflated tire.

SUV's are terrible with tire loss.

So drivers in nigeria are allowed to drive at 180 km?
That! Is too much speed, try that over here and your vehicle will be impounded wether minister or any one else, we are only allowed 70 km maximum
Speed cameras and a hefty fine would be imposed on speeding and dangerous drivers including ministers and presidents something that do not apply in nigeria health and safety also do not apply in nigeria

Na wah o. Kogi people and death of their leaders. I hail o. This reeks of diabolic powers.

or bad roads.... It's always safer too wear a seat belt... From some statistic, 50 percent of deaths that happen from accidents happen to people that are not wearing seat belts. Rephrasing, if you're involved in an accident you double your chances of getting killed if you're not wearing a seatbelt. You may say God forbid it's not my portion but accidents do happen and that is why cars have safety features like seat belts and airbags.

atlantisls:
Tyres were probably over inflated by the driver (road side vulcanizer things) and the passengers in the rear most likely didn't use their seatbelts. They almost instantly became projectiles as soon as the car summersaulted. Very avoidable accident. Drivers and Car owners should always pay attention to how much air is pumped in their tyres. Even the best tyre in the world will blow out when it is over inflated. Never trust your drivers alone to these little details... Always wear your seatbelts when vehicle is in motion whether you're in front or at the back. This accident was avoidable and the deaths were needless.

Just to add, under-inflation causes blow-outs too -- tyre blow-outs are the scariest thing in the world when driving, especially at top speed for a sustained period -- it leaves you powerless. Avoiding matching the brake in response to reflex at speeds lower than 100km/h is helpful; at over 100km/h, the chances of preventing a major accident is far less, especially with SUVs.

Indeed an SUV makes the situation a whole lot worse. I have had 1 blow out at 140km/h but it was in a sedan and it was really tough to keep the car under control, but then again I still never touched my brakes until my speed had reduced on its own.

The point is that braking makes the situation a whole lot worse in these blow out situations and being in an SUV with its higher center of gravity makes the situation worse.
