Driver kills two road sweepers while evading LASMA arrest for traffic violation

On Monday, November 13, a driver attempting to escape arrest by the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASMA) left a trail of devastation on the Gbagada-Oshodi Expressway, killing two roadside sweepers. The fleeing suspect, wanted for a traffic offense, collided with two members of the Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) at their duty post, resulting in the tragic death of both sanitation workers. According to eyewitness accounts, the LASMA officials had moved to arrest the driver for a traffic violation, but instead of complying, the driver opted to flee the scene. In a desperate attempt to evade capture, the suspect rammed into the two LAWMA workers who were stationed by the roadside, leading to their immediate demise.

The scene quickly attracted the attention of security personnel, including the police, who arrived promptly. However, their intervention escalated tensions as tear gas was deployed to disperse protesters and restore order to the area. LAWMA, in a statement released in the aftermath of the incident, confirmed the untimely demise of the two sanitation workers. “LAWMA is working with security agencies to apprehend and prosecute the errant driver of the car, with vehicle number EPE 984 DV,” the statement read. “We wish to appeal to motorists for the umpteenth time, to drive with utmost caution on the highways, to avoid sad incidents like this happening to our sanitation workers or anyone in the course of their legitimate duties. The public is urged to remain calm as appropriate steps are being taken and necessary measures put in place. Our heartfelt condolences go to the families of the deceased, whom we love most dearly. May their souls continue to rest in peace.” See below;

To her surprise, the driver, who happened to be a senior manager at a reputable company, empathized with her situation and went above and beyond by offering her a job, despite her lack of qualifications for the position. The young woman initially found it difficult to believe that such a senior position in the company would be offered to her by an Uber driver. However, her skepticism soon turned into amazement as she discovered the true identity and professional standing of the driver. It turned out that the firm had recently halted their hiring process. However, recognizing Oluwatise’s potential, the Uber driver, who held a senior management position within the company, used his influence to persuade the company to reopen the application link specifically for her. Motivated by this unexpected opportunity, Oluwatise wasted no time and promptly applied for the job. To her delight, she received a prompt response and found herself attending an interview within a week. Demonstrating her capabilities she successfully secured the position, which remarkably allowed her to work remotely. Oluwatise wrote; “I always tell ppl to be extroverted and not stuck up. The job I’ve been working for the past seven months came from an Uber driver. I was sitting in his car talking with him and complained about being a broke college kid and he offered me a job that I wasn’t even qualified for. It literally was remote and everything. Turns out he was the senior manager at the company and they had just stopped hiring but he got them to reopen the link for me, interview me and get me hired within a week.“ See below; I always tell ppl to be extroverted and not stuck up.

“The experience I’ll never forget as a cab driver in US” ― Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has narrated an experience he will never forget as a young taxi driver in the United States. This was revealed as he shared his humble beginning in a biography published on the back page of a national daily where he revealed that a naval officer once slapped him for overcharging him unintentionally.

President Bola TinubuThe biography titled, ‘Tinubu: My life as gypsy cab driver in the US’, was authored by Mike Awoyinfa, a seasoned journalist. Tinubu, in the story, said he worked as unlicensed taxi driver in Chicago, the US picking passengers from the airport to their destinations. The president said the driving job was meant to sustain him financially before he went to school. He narrated, “We got an unregistered used car commonly called Gypsy, which we ran as a taxi. We operated at the airport where we picked passengers, and not anywhere else, like the hotel because it was forbidden for unlicensed cab drivers to do so. “We did that for a while to raise some money. Bolaji went to Tennessee, while I headed for Chicago. “I was supposed to have started schooling in April. I deferred it till September in order to have more money. Immediately I got to Chicago, I went straight to Richard Daley College. It was very interesting. “I was able to pay for my apartment and tuition fees at Chicago State University. I supplemented that by doing different menial jobs like door guard and security man.” Speaking further about the incident, he said the naval officer he carried responded with a slap on his face because he overcharged him, as his destination was nearby. “As a cab driver, one experience I will never forget was when I over-charged a naval officer returning to the country. It was not intentional,” Tinubu said. “Apparently, I didn’t know the direction. There was no GPRS in those days to locate directions. So, he gave me the direction to his house in a Virginia suburb. “I gave him the price and the man responded with a slap to my face. He said I should know the correct price to charge to the location he mentioned. He slapped me and gave me the money.” Source: Daily Trust

Describing her introduction to truck driving, the young woman who began driving at 19 mentioned that her parents urged her to learn a trade after she completed her secondary school education. They suggested tailoring or hairdressing, but she lacked any interest in those fields. During that time, she was staying with her aunt in Lagos State, whose husband worked as a truck driver.

While managing the trucks for her uncle, she developed a fascination for driving them, which marked the beginning of her journey towards becoming a truck driver. Speaking on how she is inexperienced at driving a four-wheeler vehicle, she said; “People find it funny that I can drive an articulated vehicle which has 22 tyres but I can drive a car which has four tyres.” Speaking on the challenges of being a truck driver, Omolade emphasized that she is never bothered in any way particularly because she is passionate about the occupation. “There is so much challenges in it but me, I do see all those things as challenges all because it is what I have passion for,” she said. However, the challenges she mentioned are not far different from the expected including faults with the vehicle. Some videos of Omolade driving a truck
