the steering wheel while in motion when they lost control and hit a tricycle with passengers in it.

“Something happened at my area this morning. A driver was arrested by the police, one of them got into

his car, while the others followed, on the way to the station, at the okota roundabout, the driver decided

to play a fast one and diverted to ago palace way. While in motion, the police man and driver began to

contest for the steering wheel. Eventually they both lost control and the car hit a tricycle (keke). In the

tricycle, A woman with her two kids and the rider. All of them died. May their soul Rest In Peace.

Now passers-by begin to deliberate on the issue and everyone pointed blames at the police for not

effectively carrying out their duties thus endangering lives in the process.

The police need to do better… However being civilized as citizens is also something we need to look at as

well. Both the police and the driver should be jailed.” tobe_stevee wrote
