Are you serious? @"mercy after death".

wirinet:

So the owners of any vehicle that people died as a result of accident should be charged with manslaughter. So should this also be applied to other vehicles as well, for example okada, commercial buses and even airplanes?

Afam4eva:
Prosecute the owner on what grounds?

See how an average Nigerian thinks,so you don't know that accidents caused by a driver or neglect by owner can result in one or both of them being charged for manslaughter?

For my fellow citizens who do not understand why the trucks owner, and possibly mechanic and driver should be charged, I submit these to thee:

Exhibit #1:

"Bath tipper truck crash: haulage company owner and mechanic jailed

Adam Vaitilingam QC, prosecuting, described Gordon’s business as “a shambles from start to finish”. Grittenham Haulage did not carry out the recommended brake efficiency tests on the vehicle, which had almost 450,000 miles on the clock at the time of the incident.

The final safety check carried out by Wood was described as “wholly inadequate”.

Mr Justice Langstaff told Gordon, of Dauntsey, Wiltshire, and Wood, of Brinkworth, Wiltshire, that the brakes were in an appalling state and the lorry should not have been on the road. “You were not concerned for the public,” he told Gordon."

We're so used to living under chaos that we don't even understand legalities anymore in Nigeria.

No one alive drives any of my vehicles in the US except for my blood brothers, all of whom I know are vetted, reasonable people.

Why?

Because I could be held responsible for any damage that they might cause.

Y'all didn't think about checking the road worthiness of tankers until 9 died and over 30 cars/valuables got reduced to nothing in an inferno.

Medicine after death
