Tragedy struck in Lagos,
on Thursday, on the Eko Bridge, when the son of a former governor of Oyo
State, Senator Rashidi Ladoja, died in an auto accident.
The incident reportedly
occurred around 3.30 p.m, when the deceased, Adebola Ladoja’s Volkswagen
Golf car with Lagos registration number AKD 107 CJ, driving toward
Lagos Island was crushed by a DAF truck, with registration number JJJ 59
XA driven by one Osaghai Justice Eko.
Eyewitnesses say the
truck driver lost control and hit the median in the middle of the road,
before crushing the car driven by the former governor’s son.
“It took several hours before those who came to the rescue of the victim could break into the vehicle. He was trapped behind the wheel with blood gushing out of his head as a
result of the impact,” an eyewitness said
The eyewitness added that
it was the timely arrival of policemen and officials of the Lagos State
Traffic Management Agency (LASMA) that saved the driver, as the crowd
almost lynched him.
State police command
spokeslady, Ngozi Braide, confirmed the incident to reporters, saying
that the police had commenced investigations on the incident. She added
that the victim died on the spot, while his remains had been removed to
the Lagos Island General Hospital mortuary for autopsy.
May his soul rest in perfect peace.
