A police officer attached to Orile Division died in a motor accident
opposite Fatgbems Filling Station, along Oshodi-Apapa Expressway, at about
9a.m., yesterday.
It was learned that the deceased,
while attempting to apprehend a commercial bus (Danfo) driver, who was picking
up passengers along the road, jumped into the moving bus with number plates KJA305XL.
The bus sped off, while trying to
escape, and hit another car with number plates LND340DF. The sudden stop made
the policeman, who was hanging on the bus, to fall.
An eyewitness told Vanguard that as the cop fell, a
trailer ran over him, killing him instantly, as the commercial bus driver and his conductor took to
their heels, abandoning the vehicle.
Vanguard gathered that the driver of
the car, which the bus driver hit, was travelling for his father’s burial when
he incident occurred.
Operatives of Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, Lagos State Traffic Management Agency, LASTMA, and policemen from Trinity and Orile Divisions were there to ensure free flow of traffic as onlookers besieged the area.
