matrix199: Wrong objection for judgement. The hoodlums attacking others buses is almost a legal victory for the guy to defend his accidental killing as victim of uncontrollable situation due to close range caused by her careless leaping & law break |

Lexusgs430: Exactly Possibly going to report himself at the nearest police station, if you know the area you will know that the mob there can lynch him |

So sad for the family of the bereaved but he should get a good lawyer and the Government should give him some backing. BRT lanes anywhere in the world are the last places you want to be crossing without care. |

If it can be proven that there is a pedestal bridge within statutory range , this woman might just end up dying free death. Let's learn to use those bridges pls. I am not innocent of this too. May her soul rest in peace. Mr. driver fear, fear. But is there any law that incriminates running from scene of accident? |

Driver was probably scared. I have had two encounter where a person crossing the express fell backwards due to the very high median. One I was in the BRT and the driver braked so hard we almost fell in the bus and even the pedestrian was grateful. The second was me crossing the road and getting on the high median and almost falling back to the path of an oncoming BRT bus. Thank God I fell forward to the express and no car was coming . Just food for thought. |

SmartyPants: I agree the murder charge shouldn't stick.... neither should a manslaughter charge. Is it because she has connections nobody is blaming her? She should not be on the roadway period. Why didn't she cross at the crossing point? If there was no official crossing point it was for her to make sure it was safe for her to cross. The most the driver should be charged for is hit and run..... leaving the scene of an accident.... and failing to render assistance to the victim. |

SmartyPants: Guy there are ways of checking the mensrea, if he drove negligently, or recklessly that a reasonable man ought to know that it will cause death, then the malice aforethought could be established, so he can be charged for murder. |
Re: BRT Driver Who Killed Businesswoman Handed Over To Police by SmartyPants(m): 1:04pm On May 20, 2020 |
ebig21: You do not know what you are talking about. Murder is a crime of specific intent. I have a feeling this is how you go about giving legal advice. |

Iamundisputed: And car users hardly slow down for pedestrians to cross even at zebra crossings. Most motorists in Lagos behave that way. Even to let a pedestrian pass between cars in traffic na war for some, as if that person will take up the space. Most motorists in Lagos are just too impatient |
Re: BRT Driver Who Killed Businesswoman Handed Over To Police by Unazi71: 1:17pm On May 20, 2020 |
He shouldn't have ran away from the scene of the accident. That is a mistake on his side. The law guildiing brt lanes is very clear except they want to bend it cuz the accident involves a big person. Rip to the dead. |
Re: BRT Driver Who Killed Businesswoman Handed Over To Police by Nobody: 1:32pm On May 20, 2020 |
Sheuns: In fact, you are right. We have been taught that being impatient is the right thing, which is wrong... But I think we owe that culture of road rage and impatience to the lack of traffic lights on most of our roads. We hardly use traffic lights on the road with the few being in Alausa and VI only. That's a foundational problem. : |

matrix199: It's still manslaughter just with an additional charge of fleeing and accident scene ( hit and run ) |
Re: BRT Driver Who Killed Businesswoman Handed Over To Police by boladez(m): 1:59pm On May 20, 2020 |
I agree that ma y of the BRT drivers drive recklessly and behave as if they are high on drugs, one hit my neighbour and took off almost killing the young couple. Something needs to be done about that. Jaywalking is a bigger problem that also needs to addressed with action and laws. I know that portion of road at ikorodu, the driver should not have been going so fast as to kill somebody. It is also obvious the lady did not use the pedestrian overhead crossing built by government and was probably not attentive when she walked Into the path of the bus.....no credible eye witness account but I have a major problem with the driver for fleeing the scene and running away. If he had stopped to assist the lady she may have survived to tell the truth about her jaywalking or unattentiveness. My 2 cents |

Re: BRT Driver Who Killed Businesswoman Handed Over To Police by bigtt76(f): 2:37pm On May 20, 2020 |
I agree with you but then running away was to save his life. He could've been lynched. Also, it might not be his fault if the woman is the one that misjudged the speed of an on coming BRT who may endanger the lives of his passengers if he attempts slamming on the brakes. RIP to the woman and condolences to her family. matrix199: |

Iamundisputed: I just tire for the level of impatience we possess here in Lagos. A few seconds/minutes patience can prevent hours of delay in traffic. 1 Like 1 Share |

He cant be charged for murder if the area is poorly litted and If there is pedestrian bridge nearby. He should have driven straight to the police station instead of absconding though. No driver dare stop at the scene of accident when its established someone died. I bet they will kill him on the spot. But going underground was a terrible mistake. matrix199: |
Re: BRT Driver Who Killed Businesswoman Handed Over To Police by BluntTheApostle(m): 4:47pm On May 20, 2020 |
matrix199: We have a lot of hit-and-run cases because suspects risk losing their lives when they stop to help. People don't bother to ask questions. They immediately assume that the driver is at fault, and they burn him and his vehicle. There was the case of a man who ran a secondary school student over. He waited to help but people started beating him up. When he heard tyre and petrol, he managed to free himself and run. He ran into a nearby police station but the mob followed him right into the police station and dragged him away right in the presence of police officers. As for this driver's charge, it would still be manslaughter since the action was not premeditated. He might be charged separately for failing to stop and help the victim. I think he would get 3 years, maybe. It was reported earlier that the victim was actually the one who failed to check the road. In the case of Ibinabo, she was at fault, and still abandoned the victim. She got 5 years. This driver should get less if she gets a lawyer who references Ibinabo's case. |

Why is the yamlegged iyanmirin Biafran man driving our BRT? This is the reason these poverty striken igbos are abandoning their ancestral land for RAGOS. We need to send them all BACK!!!! To their rotten Nnewi. |

If he hadn't escaped there may have been jungle justice on him. He should have ran to the police instead. |
