- The remains of the deceased were deposited at the Mainland General Hospital mortuary for autopsy
A 25-year-old car washer, Olamide Quadri, has been arrested for taking a customer’s car on a joyride without permission, resulting in a pedestrian being crushed and three others injured in the Mushin area of Lagos.
The car’s owner had left it at a car wash, and Quadri allegedly decided to take it for a spin, leading to the devastating consequences.
According to the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hudenyin, “On June 2, about 8:20 p.m., the Divisional Police Officer, Mushin Division, received a distress call of a fatal accident at Olosha, Agege Motor Road, Mushin. The DPO immediately went to the scene, where a Toyota Camry car had somersaulted several times and knocked down four pedestrians. The victims were rushed to the hospital, where one of them, identified as Tayo, died while receiving treatment.
“Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect, a car washer, had taken the car for a test drive without the owner’s consent. The accident car was recovered and moved to Alakara Police Station, while the remains of the deceased were deposited at the Mainland General Hospital mortuary for autopsy. Efforts are ongoing to reach the family members of the deceased.”
