sukkot:
but why are you knocking people down with car ?

It is called "accident"

Even some of the best drivers with a billion years of driving experience have experienced it.

I was surprised too with that statement, an officer already drawn conclusion before conducting investigation.

AngelicBeing:

hehe it's true na bro lmaooooo

If you dey drive carefully for nigerian roads you would have noticed its a common phenomenon, some people cross road haphazardly as if they have immune to crash

That was on paper, I believe he didn't wait at all. How can you knocked someone and can't find the person but police can found the body. I don't believe that he only said that to show compassion

Quest7777:

But he said he stopped & went back to search for the man but didn't find him. 🤔

Hakeem66:
Pedestrians do put drivers in dangerous and difficult situations many times. Some drivers have lost their lives while avoiding pedestrians who carelessly crossed the road. It's not easy and can happen to any motorist, regardless of their carefulness.

A pedestrian ran out to cross the road while I was oncoming at full speed. I couldn't see her on time because she had been standing in front of a truck parked by the side of the road. I thank God I was able to swerve on time and apply the brakes.
Some people just seem to have a death wish

That's Nigeria police for you. That's indirectly telling us that they are already tactically throwing away the man's potential alibi when and if the matter gets to court. Journalists and Police are like cat and mouse, and I hope the police has not found a veritable grounds to "deal with" the man

Dididrumz:
He did the right thing.

Now the police should also do the right thing and be fair and objective, instead of trying to milk the situation (and the man) for all it's worth.

A toxicology test of the deceased should also be carried out.

Over speeding and fatigue

. And you're still talking like you don't know what an accident is?

Have you never had a situation where someone suddenly ran out in front of your car?

OLAADEGBU:


While we should applaud the driver for reporting himself we should address the supposed speed a driver should be doing in a built up area that would reduce the rampant killings on our roads today?

Bright Edafe should steer clear with his bullying antics. He should not extort the good man with overbearing legal lacuna.

We are watching!

all the time and I have not hit one person in my life. But they run out all the time in front of my car. MY DRIVING SKILLS ARE IMPECCABLE

What baffles me is that he said he didn’t see any body after you know that you have knocked down somebody, it’s either he didn’t wait at all to search for the knockdown person may be he would have been urgently assisted medically or he was afraid of being mobbed by the people, it’s 2pm broad daylight light for heaven sake… the story is not adding up

Quest7777:
Fine.
But he will still face manslaughter charges & pay compensations to the man's family.

But how come he couldn't find the man after stopping to search for him after knocking him down? Perhaps the man could have survived if rushed to hospital immediately.

He turned himself in

AlvinOO7:

Trust the NPF. They’re trying to change it to a case of ‘hit and run’…prolly wanna charge him with manslaughter.

They are not trying to change it to a hit and run. They already accepted that he reported the case himself, so no hit-and-run claim here.





What they are trying to do is see if they can identify negligence and see what type of manslaughter to charge him with.





One thing the police don't like is a waste of their time. That is why they ask many questions. They don't want to get to court and have the judge start lecturing them about incompetence or scolding them for a poorly carried out investigation and watery case. Just like the police, the court too don't like their time being wasted. They can fine you for wasting the court's time.





For me, this case needs thorough investigation. If we say because the man reported himself then he should be released, what if his first intention was to run, but fear made him report himself eventually?





The statistics is that if you hit a person while doing 50km/hr, they have a 20% chance of surviving. Supposing this journalist was doing 50km/hr, there is a high chance that the victim was still alive, but he died when help did not come on time because the journalist claimed he could not see the victim until the police came and found the body. This can be a charge of negligent homicide.





Negligent homicide may not be as serious a crime as vehicular homicide, but it is a criminal charge nevertheless.





My point is that the journalist might not be entirely blameless. He might even be overspeeding. After all, he was going for a meeting, and had already wasted 2 hours on the road blocked by protesters.

As he had already reported he make everything easy for himself.So many things would be put into consideration during the court case but one thing is sure he would pay handsomely to the disease family.

the man is just a typical reckless bad driving Nigerian . That's all it is. Most likely texting his hoelosho and driving at the same time or something crazy like that. Over speeding etc. Just a reckless human being

Jungle justice might have been metted out on him if he had stopped. Also, it's easy to judge when you're not the concerned party, the initial shock and fear is enough to make anyone run.

God forbid you find yourself in such a situation but you know deep inside your heart you probably wouldn't wait if nobody was there to identify you or your vehicle.

You can understand now why people hardly report this case.




How can a police officer say something that foolish?





Does he not know that some people commit suicide by simply walking straight in front of an incoming car?





In fact, a police officer should never consider anything related to an accident as immaterial.

Better than to have divine justice chop his family.

Yes but have you knockdown someone before and the individual was not in sight after the collision?

Very careless and unprofessional talk.

Has the edafe guy knocked down some before and experience the instant emotional drain that comes with it?

Advancedman:

Why won't the victim be in sight? Na spirit?

Until it happens to you.
This is how most of you invite unfortunate incidents with your irresponsible and uncompassionate mindset.
