PUNCH Online gathered that the incident occurred at about 2:30 pm on Sunday. Additionally, it was gathered that the truck driver crushed the motorboy who was sleeping under his truck while attempting to follow other truck drivers to Tin Can Port Gate, Apapa. In a Statement made available to PUNCH Metro by the Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, Adebayo Taofiq, it was disclosed that the driver of the fully laden containerised truck with registration number T-1360LA was trying to go together with other heavy trucks heading inward Tin Can Port Gate, Apapa, when he inadvertently crushed a motor boy who was sleeping under his vehicle. He added that the truck driver fled the scene as soon as the tragedy occurred and the motor boy was pronounced dead after being sent to a nearby hospital, Taofiq stated that LASTMA officials led by Traffic Officer Adams Lateef Zebra Zone 13 Apapa quickly caught him and turned him over to police officers from the Trinity Police Division in the Apapa region. Taofiq said “A preliminary investigation revealed that the driver of the fully loaded containerised truck (T_1360LA) unknowingly crushed a motor boy who was sleeping under his truck while the driver was trying to move along with other loaded trucks going inward Tin Can Port Gate, Apapa. “Immediately the unfortunate incident happened and the motor boy was confirmed dead after rushing him to a nearby hospital, the truck driver took to his heels but was immediately apprehended by LASTMA officials led by Traffic Officer Adams Lateef ‘Zebra’ (Zone 13) Apapa. “The Truck Driver was later handed over by LASTMA Officials to Policemen from the Trinity Police Division area of Apapa for further investigation. The Acting General Manager, LASTMA, Bakare Oki advised truck drivers to inspect their trucks to make sure nothing was discovered underneath before embarking on a journey. ”The General Manager of LASTMA Mr. Bakare Oki appealed to drivers to always ensure they always check around their trucks to ascertain nothing was found before embarking on any movement. “While sympathising with the deceased’s family, Mr. Bakare Oki sent his condolences.” Source: https://punchng.com/truck-crushes-motor-boy-to-death-in-lagos/[/quote]No crime committed here. RIP to the unfortunate lad but no law broken.. he is under no legal obligation to check under his vehicle for sleeping people before moving... no such legal burden.. may sound harsh but it's the truth |

SharingIsLife:When you hear "motor BOY", it doesn't mean it's a child o. Motor boys are grown men, at least in their twenties who help the driver with traffic and other issues while learning to drive. The youngest a motor boy can be is about 19-20, even those ones are the Northerners. That being said, I feel for the poor driver. The man can never be the same again. Just like one motor boy who slept off in the back of a dump truck in Dangote Cement last year.....got a full load of gypsum poured over him. His corpse was only discovered when the truck got to the point of discharge and the vehicle tipped out the material with the body. Saw his body being taken out the gates. What's with motor boys and sleeping in dangerous places, sef? |

Baztardidiot:The way these motor boys /drivers sleep under trucks always surprises me. |
| Re: Driver Crushes Man Sleeping Under Truck To Death In Lagos by saintruky(m): 12:56pm On Jan 01, 2024 |
The engine of the truck na sound proof when the boy no hear the sound? Truck must start, then warm up small before d driver dey move... if the boy no hear the loud sound of the engine, then i concur with the below saying Like someone said here, the boy had died in his sleep... |

SharingIsLife:What criminal offence can you charge the truck driver with? You can't charge him for murder, vehicular manslaughter charges will not stick to warrant a jail time, negligence something will not even stick... The fact the deceased is called motorboy does not mean he is a child. |

oluwaseyi0:Yes, he is supposed to check. There is no place to sleep in those areas so 80% of the drivers and motor boys sleep under their trailers. They spread mats or wrappers and make themselves comfortable there. |

It is standard practice that truckers check around their trucks before moving |

ahnie:You're correct. I see that everytime. I'm surprised the way some people are even flaring up at the dead boy |

The driver isn't to be blamed for this unfortunate but yet available nonsense. How deep could one sleep to the point of not hearing the sounds/revvings of such heavy engine? Cut the driver some slack |

SharingIsLife:people like you go abroad to be doing worst odd jobs in the name of hard currency. Maybe you don't know some graduate are into truck driving in Apapa and they make more money than you with your cutlass blade tie in the office. |
