Terrible. I doubt jail will be in the cards for him. It's an accident and if he is licensed and not DUI ing, that could play in his favor. Also street trading is illegal. RIP to the dead. 1 Like |

Ceasarceasar: Angel55555:Have you killed someone before and compensated the hungry family? The law is still coming for you. Whether intentional or accident, it's still a federal crime and the family has no say in how you get punished. 4 Likes |

thesicilian:Baba, he can have a settlement arrangement with the family of the deceased, the Police won't charge him. It's going to cost him a lot of money, but it's better than going to jail for a few years. |

...this can only be from sone who doesn't know anything about the law or witnessed a case where the police were reluctant to push the case. The case is not with the family, it is with the state/govt. Angel55555: 1 Like |

thesicilian: Na you go carry am go prison abi which law say him go go prison? There's no law that covers such incidents in Nigeria, as long as he has a valid driving license. That's why it's called an accident. Seek knowledge all ye supporters of the lying fraudster 2 Likes |

Think9ja: Involuntary manslaughter is a crime under the law. If you hit someone with your car, and it leads to the death of someone, you have committed a crime. However, the Court might look at the "circumstances" leading to the accident. In civil cases, the defendant can claim it was an accident, or contributory negligence on the part of the deceased. The family of the deceased could also accept some form of financial settlement from the defendant, shutting the door on any possible future civil suit. 3 Likes |

This is the problem with road side trading. If we complain, people will say the government has not provided shops for them. At the end of the day removing them from the road is for their own safety 2 Likes |

thesicilian: That's not true. The family of the woman may want to settle out f court. All he needs to do is bail himself and settle the woman's family. He may not even spend up to two weeks in detention |
Re: Woman Dies After Being Hit By 22-Year-Old Driver In Lagos by nedekid: 6:00am On Mar 25 |
thesicilian:How are you sure he is going to kirikiri, unless you mean detention during trial? Do you know if the unfortunate incident was not out of recklessness, but factors beyond his control eg mechanical failure, bad road, failed Tyre etc. 22 year old is way above driving age of 18, so it is wondered why the police guy mentioned his age. Another thing is that the deceased was selling groundnut on the road or roadside placing herself in danger. This is a major issue that will be argued by his Defence. Where he will have issues is if he had eg no drivers license, was proven to be intoxicated (we do not have field test), or was seen to be driving recklessly (video recording). May the soul of the deceased rest in peace. |

Typical Nigerian mentality, So every 22 year old boy that drives a car is a yahoo? What if the car is owned by his parents, I drive My dad's GLK sometimes, and that doesn't make me a yahoo boy. Rip to the dad sha. |
