BABY KILLED AS LASTMA CREATE SCENE ON LAGOS ROAD
A five-month-old baby has been
reportedly killed and several others
injured after an official of the Lagos
State Traffic Management Authority
attempted to arrest a commercial
bus driver for violating the traffic
law around the Awoyokun end of
Ikorodu Road.
The yet-to-be-identified culprit was
said to be among a team of traffic
officials from the LASTMA’s
Anthony office. We gathered that the
bus driver had picked up a
passenger by the roadside when the
officials began trailing the vehicle.
DE VOICE gathers that one of the LASTMA officials was
said to have jumped into the front
seat in a bid to arrest the driver.It
was learnt that the driver, whose
vehicle was filled with passengers,
continued driving in a bid to evade
arrest.
In the ensuing struggle, the LASTMA
official allegedly pulled out the
ignition key as the bus crashed into
a stationary refuse truck.
