LASTMA Apprehends a Fleeing Togolese Nationale for Lethal Speed-Induced Crash in Lagos 

…admonishes motorists to embrace uncompromising sense of safety consciousness when behind the wheel..

 

Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) demonstrated its vigilance and operational resolve in safeguarding lives, as its operatives intervened in a harrowing road traffic catastrophe earlier today at the Adeniji Adele Intersection, inward Ilubirin, Lagos Island, involving a negligent Togolese motorist.

 

Preliminary inquiries disclosed that the Togolese operator of a Mazda automobile, bearing registration number EPE 749 GS, while recklessly propelling the vehicle at an unlawful velocity, lost control and brutally struck a pedestrian who was attempting to cross the roadway. The forceful impact grievously injured the victim, leaving him sprawled in a pool of blood.

 

In a brazen bid to elude justice, the culpable driver attempted to abscond from the scene with his vehicle.

 

Through an expeditious chase and deft tactical maneuvering, LASTMA officers apprehended the fugitive motorist and promptly transferred him into the custody of security operatives from the Adeniji Adele Police Division for comprehensive interrogation and subsequent prosecution.

 

Emergency medical responders from the Lagos State Ambulance Service (LASAMBUS), swiftly activated by LASTMA personnel, conveyed the severely injured pedestrian to the General Hospital, Odan, Lagos Island, where urgent and life-saving treatment was immediately administered.

 

The General Manager of LASTMA, Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki, sternly admonished motorists to embrace an uncompromising sense of safety consciousness whenever behind the wheel, emphasizing that excessive speed continues to be a primary precipitant of needless tragedies on Lagos roadways.

 

While conveying his profound sympathies to the accident victim, Mr. Bakare-Oki fervently wished the injured pedestrian a rapid and full recovery, reaffirming the Authority’s steadfast dedication to protecting human lives and preserving orderliness across the State’s transportation corridors.
