UPDATE: The General Manager of Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (@followlastma), Bolaji Oreagba has categorically disowned the unsubstantiated allegation that officials of the agency were involved in the unfortunate truck accident yesterday at Ojodu

Oreagba averred that ”from the reports we received on the incidence, the driver is believed to have lost control of the vehicle, probably because of mechanical reasons. The police are investigating the matter; the public should await their report".

LASTMA does not have a traffic management duty post around the accident scene. And all patrol personnel had reported back to base for daily parade as at the time the accident occurred leaving only those at their traffic management posts”, Oreagba noted.

The General Manager further said that in the various unconfirmed reports in some media, not only LASTMA as an agency was fingered but some other government traffic control agencies and wondered how all these agencies would be in pursuit of one truck, a truck that could be apprehended at a later date, that is, if it had committed any traffic infraction.

He advised that the media should refrain from rushing to the press with unsubstantiated reports, all in a bid to be the first to break the news. A news that could engender public distrust before the revelation of the facts.

Oreagba commiserated with the families of the students that lost their lives and pray for the quick recovery for the injured.

He also said that we all have the responsibility of making our roads safe for everyone, by strictly adhering to all motoring and traffic rules and regulations that have been put in place.

Eyin le mo

This man is just been untruthful as LASTMA men are known to have severally left their duty schedules to pursue allegedly traffic violators.

These had happened on several occasions causing severe injuries and bodily pains to commuters around Pen-Cinema, Ojota, Ikeja along, Ile-Zik, Bolade junction, Agidingbi, Jibowu and lots of other places

It's now a norm for LASTMA officials to turn themselves to revenue generation agency and creating nuisance everywhere without decorum.

Immediate judgment? How does that solve the problem? Will that bring the dead school children back to life?

Don't think like this nah... Violence cannot solve the problem. People need to be held accountable.

Road safety have com out to deny their involvement, Lastma too that are known menaces are also denying

The Driver go talk cause the accident Las las

. He us very right my man

...I thought Twitter has been banned in Nigeria though

All these fake news hawkers, it cannot be well with you. Do you know how many lastma officers you would have put at risk because of your lies?

Federal government, state and local governments are known for serious lie telling!!

Are they still using Twitter or is fake account

Liar

The truck didn't lose control nor break failure.
The truck was later apprehended and set ablaze from angry mobs, if it was a break failure how would the truck get to ogba where it was burned � down.

Soon VIO will also said they are not involved it's all lies

Smh can't be surprised after listening to one of their own early this morning saying "they have no checkpoints along that axis plus they were having parade at the time of the horrible incident and that they feel the driver lost control before ramming into the school children who had just closed from school".

Who una go support before... alone werey

The way God dey warm up for some people bah when him wan pass judgement after rapture... E go shock pipu

Latsma officials often behave like touts

If you believe this, you can believe anything

It’s because there’s no video of the incident that’s why they have decided to lie
