A truck belonging to Dangote Cement Company was on Tuesday set ablaze in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital, following the killing of a man and one of his sons.

The state police command said the truck driver lost control at the Zone 8 roundabout and crushed a pedestrian and injured one other person, who was receiving treatment at a hospital.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, William Aya, said people in the area took the law into their own hands and set the truck ablaze.

Quite sad. I don't know if this will make sense or work, instead of the usual burning/destruction of the offending party property/properties a mechanism should be put in place whereby 30/35percnt of the total profit earned monthly for a period of 1,2,5 or 10 years should be given to the victim/victims depending on severity of the incident. That way the offending party won't have to lose their source/sources of income and the victim/victims or family hae something to cushion the impact of the loss of their loved ones even though no amount of money will replace a loved one
