Evans Abifade, a driver has reportedly killed a 27-year-old travel consultant, Oluwatobiloba Bukola Fisayomi Arike, in Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State.
It was gathered that the deceased was on her way to buy food near Agro Bus Stop, via Ojodu-Berger, in Akute on Wednesday afternoon, June 3, 2024, when the speeding car struck her, killing her on the spot.
The driver was apprehended by an angry crowd and handed over to the police while the young woman’s lifeless body was wrapped in a polythene bag by officers from the Ajuwon Police Station and transported to the mortuary.
Meanwhile, family and friends have called on the Ogun State Police Command and Governor Dapo Abiodun to investigate the killing of the National Open University graduate.
The family fears that justice may not be served, suggesting that the police might release the reckless driver without proper prosecution.
A friend of the deceased wrote in a Facebook post on Thursday, July 4: “The police refused to take a statement from us but granted the driver who killed you his wish of going to hospital for treatment. More than 24 hours now and no statement about your gruesome death.
"Nigeria Police is the failure that keeps failing.”
