A 26-year-old man, Adeyemi Babatunde, has been arrested by the police in Ogun State for allegedly killing a 46-year-old motorist, Obafunsho Ismail, over a minor motor accident.
According to a statement from SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, spokesperson of the state police command, trouble started on December 8, 2022, about 8 p.m, when the suspect, who drove a Lexus jeep with “”Olu of Oya”” customized number plate, hit the deceased’s car from the rear and caused damage to the rear light of the said car.
This infuriated the deceased who insisted that the suspect must come down, and he consequently sat on the bonnet of the suspect’s car in order to prevent him from escaping from the scene.
This did not deter the suspect from taking off and driving at high speed. In the process, the deceased fell off the car onto the road and was run over by the suspect.
The suspect was accused of reversing on the crushed victim, further ensuring that he died completely.
