It seems you don't understand what murder is legally.
The man obviously did not leave home with the intention to kill a certain police office. His intent was to evade arrest, albeit dangerously. If the police officer had died, that would be manslaughter and not murder,



thank you! true position of the law.

Assaulting a police officer and attempted murder. Should not be taken as there is no evidence that he knock the police officer into the canal.

As per you be judge or prosecutor grin Even without the obvious video evidence which showed him knocking down the officer, a single witness can keep him in jail. But let's wallow in the assumption that suits us.

Here is premeditation.

Lawyer to Police: Sir does your car have its side and rearview mirrors intact?

Accused: Yes it does

Lawyer to Judge: My Lord here are pictures of the car clearly showing that the side and rearview mirror a of the vehicle are intact


Lawyer to accused: How long have you been driving

Accused: X number of years

Lawyer: what are you supposed to do before you reverse a vehicle as an experienced driver?

Accused: Use my rearview mirror

Lawyer to Accused: I put it to you that on said day you made use of your rearview mirrors and clearly saw the officer behind you and then deliberately reversed into him because you thought he might use his weapon on you or your car tire

If he says that is false, he is FVCKED. If he says that is true, he is still FVCKED .



All these questions still does not prove premeditation. The police lawyer has to prove that the driver actually looked in his rear and side mirrors and then decided to kill a particular police man due to motif the police lawyer will prove and then decided to turn the car into a deadly weapon and run over the police man.

If you can't prove just one of the above, the murder charge is thrown out,

As long as the man says by himself that

A. He is an experienced driver of X number of years

B. According to driving codes one must utilize his rearview mirror prior to reversing a vehicle

Then he has proven by himself and by his own submission that he used them on that day and thus clearly saw the officer before he reversed.

The law is nobody's friend. It simply balances everything

All these are assumptions and not proofs. The law does not accept assumptions, it accepts concrete and verifiable proof. Criminal law even goes further by bemanding proof beyond reasonable doubt. The smallest doubt can kill the whole case no matter the mountain of evidence. Look at the O.J. Simpson case where the whole case was thrown put simply because the glove found at the murder scene did not fit O.J. Simpson.

It seems you stubbornly have your beliefs and no fact can convince you.

Have a nice day.

Sell which mora4ka car? The car that belonged to Lagos States Government the second he was caught driving one way. Wonder why he was so desperate to escape?

Go and watch the video again (I just did) and it shows he clearly looked back before reversing. THAT IS FACT AND THE NAIL IN HIS COFFIN.

See as d arraignment fast because a policeman is involved. If it was a civilian, it will take months to conclude the investigation.

lol the worst is the car may not be his own so anyone in his shoe will think of any means even if it's magic to just escape. Some people think it's act of cowardice to obey rules and regulations they will be forming " I get mind pass you" and that thing is too much in naija simple traffic light we can't stop

He should get a good lawyer, nothing will happen. If the silly police like, let them not learn their lesson. They should continue chasing cars as if they are chasing goats, one day they will meet the man that will push them into lagoon.
I'm sure you don't have a car, if you have every being apprended for driving against traffic by Lagos task force, you will never type this.
Go to Alausa and go and see cars, that have being impounded.

Na beg we dey. The good news is that the police officer is alive. Na hin duty hin dey do but e dey alive. Baba go do Thanksgiving on Sunday...make him invite us.

Sheedren of God ....praaaaaaaaaaiiiseee dalod \grin/
If he has a good lawyer, he might get out of this, obviously the police officer was stupid by standing in back of a moving car.

If not that Nigeria is a foolish country, the right to do was to take his plate number n let him go. With his plate number u can locate his house n serve him what ever punishment he deserves. The whole drama was too much for mere traffic offense.

So our police and judiciary system can be this fast in instituting judgement. There are many cases of police brutality and other lingering issues especially Innocent people out there that had made our prisons overflooded but the police is quick to arraign the man to court because they are the victim now... Useless bunch of people
So what is your point? Had the court sentenced the man? The case has not even started until a month time and I doubt if the case will end this year.
