FRSC
Officials Chase Micra Driver To Death.
One
person was confirmed dead while four others were critically injured on Friday
after a Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) van chased a taxi driver into a ditch
along the Oyo-Ibadan Express road.
The
taxi driver died, others were rushed to the hospital. The FRSC officials
escaped.
The
FRSC Hilux van with code No. 1139(3) was reported to have been in pursuit of
presumed road traffic defaulters in a Nissan Micra vehicle with registration
No. Lagos KSF 831.
However,
while speaking with a news correspondent on Saturday in Ibadan, Mr Seun
Onijala, Oyo State FRSC Corps Education Officer, denied that any one died in
the accident.
He
said the accident involved six persons and three persons were injured while the
remaining three persons were unhurt.
“Nobody
died in the accident and I am telling you the true picture of what happened.
The officials asked the Micra car to stop and the driver refused to do so and
decided to turn the wheel of the car to the officials at the right and left
side of the road with the aim of knocking them down.
“The
FRSC officials were able to move away to the other side of road and the driver
of the Micra car moved on and the patrol team van gave the Micra car a chase.
“In
the process of the chase, a trailer was coming on the one way of the road and
the option for the Micra car and the FRSC Van was either to both have a
head-on–collision with the trailer or fell into the wide hole by the
roadside,’’ Onijala said.
He
said that both the Micra car and the patrol team van plunged into the wide hole
by the roadside and three persons were injured and the remaining three were
unhurt but nobody died in the accident.
Onijala
said the command had always warned its officers not to chase any vehicle that
committed an offence but to leave them and get their plate number to apprehend
and punish them later.
