Pregnant Woman, 3 Other Passengers Dead As Police Drags Steering In Lagos by MasterJayJay: 5:08pm On Oct 03, 2023
A pregnant woman, her two children and one other passenger have been reported dead in the Ago Palace Way of Okota in Lagos State after a car rammed into a tricycle popularly known as Keke Napep.

A user of X (formerly Twitter), #tobe_stevee who disclosed this on his page on Tuesday, explained that the tragic incident occurred while a policeman and the driver of the car were dragging the steering wheel of
the car while in motion, during which, they lost control of the car and hit a tricycle carrying some passengers.


The X user said that the driver was arrested by the police officers and one of the policemen got into the car while others followed. But as they headed for the police station, reaching the Okota Roundabout, the driver decided to play tricks and diverted to Ago Palace Way, hence, the police officer inside the car started dragging the steering with him leading to the terrible accident.

"Something happened at my area this morning. A driver was arrested by the police, one of them got into his car, while the others followed, on the way to the station, at the Okota roundabout, the driver decided to play a fast one and diverted to Ago Palace Way.

"While in motion, the police man and driver began to contest for the steering wheel. Eventually they both lost control and the car hit a tricycle (keke). In the tricycle, A woman with her two kids and the rider. All of them died. May their soul Rest In Peace.

"Now passersby begin to deliberate on the issue and everyone pointed blames at the police for not effectively carrying out their duties thus endangering lives in the process.
"The police need to do better…


However being civilized as citizens is also something we need to look at as well. Both the police and the driver should be jailed,” the X user wrote.

Police is No 1 enemy of Nigeria. Terrorists in uniform.


Why not copy the license plate number of the car?

I blame the government both state and federal with their wicked supporters who keep defending them

The driver don buy market. This just went from a simple traffic violation case to a life changing manslaughter case.


blackgold2018:
no that’s the job of Lastma men.

It was obviously police officers trying to arrest and extort a yahoo boy.

I have done Uber before, I know how the police officers extort this boys

Irrespective of the motive for the arrest. Sometimes, it's best to de-escalate situations like these. Follow them to the station, max they will waste your time and collect some change, after which you are free to go....


Akwamkpuruamu:


So the policeman that was dragging the steering is a free man abi

Do you remember the police woman in that viral video "He dey carry me go where I no know" that dragged the steering with the driver? The police claimed that she was abducted.
What makes you think they won't take side with their officer in this instance?
The driver should have saved himself the stress by giving them some spare change and move on with his life

superCleanworks:


this is a lawless country if not, why should you jump into a person's car? if his offence is so great and you are within your rights as a police man, then the best thing to do is to TOW THE VEHICLE.

but you jumped into the vehicle with other officers and started started dragging the wheel with the driver.

Remember, this accident did not occur until the police men touched the steering wheel.

The driver can claim that the police men threatened his life in the car and he had to move to safety for fear of life.

Those police men Killed the woman and her family

The fact that we live in a lawless country, where the police force and judiciary are comprised is the more reason to avoid situations like these by every means necessary.

you think an average policeman knows the purpose of the number plate. Na only extortion full their head. May the Almighty protect our going out and coming in.
Whether na police man or lastma official and driver, they should all serve jail term for involuntary manslaughter.

There's a difference between integrity and reputation.

The lack of integrity either from the police or the driver led to this dismay.

Some reports stated that it's Lastma. That's why it's always better to stop and cooperate with these security agencies guys.

Sometimes, what you consider as delay will end up saving you and the lives of others.
It's really really sad and my heartfelt condolences go to the bereaved. The driver should have stopped. It's broad daylight nah.

Those who already married a police officers and probably have kids, you need to be very prayerful because most of these uniform men are already cursed. No matter how long they live, the innocent blood they shed will tell on their families.
