Why Hitting And Running, What A BAD NEWS

I don't understand the last paragraph. Does the Agency have the right to detain,parade and charge people to court?

The reckless driver should be jailed.

Re: Hit-And-Run Driver Arrested In Lagos by zed7:
Lagos drivers are generally reckless. My problem is that some people in Lagos will see a car coming and be strolling, even when crossing the expressway.

The guy shouldn't have run. Again, knowing the kind of country we are, if you hit somebody and he dies, you will likely be lynched and your car set ablaze. You don't win either way.

I remember January 4th this year when a little girl just ran onto the expressway while I was driving, had to swerve hard and regain control of the vehicle to avoid ramming into the danfo that was by the bus stop.

There was a pedestrian bridge right above her and for some reasons she failed to use it.

Pedestrians should pls always use the pedestrian bridges when they’re crossing the expressway. Parents pls teach your children to use the proper crossing techniques and facilities provided.

97% of Lagos drivers didn't go to driving school... I'm always over cautious whenever I'm walking or driving on the road. To go out and come back home every day in Lagos nà miracle. God please continue to protect and preserve us..

Yes, they are backed by law. They now have mobile courts that are lead by judges and magistrates from Lagos ministry of justice. Probably taken to the TASK FORCE office in oshodi. They have cells there.

and Lagos drivers should also be thought the meaning of ZEBRA CROSSING. Not even the well travelled and exposed ones among them know or observe this.

That was very fast. Such good work by the agency. But I expect that he should be handed over to the police.

May the victim recover speedily.

That’s one. Many do not know or choose to ignore. But pedestrians also need to be more careful when crossing. People literally stroll when crossing the expressway like it’s some street road.
