Mustapher Adeleke, 34, an official of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), was on Tuesday crushed to death by a driver who allegedly violated traffic laws at Oke-Afa, Isolo, Lagos.
The bus driver, Haruna Nuru, reportedly drove against traffic on the Isolo-Ejigbo Road and hit Adeleke from behind.
LASTMA authorities said Nuru tried to flee from the scene after the accident but was stopped by witnesses.
Adeleke was taken to the Isolo General Hospital where he was confirmed dead, and his corpse deposited at the hospital morgue.
General Manager of the traffic management agency, Babatunde Edu, in a statement on Wednesday, urged motorists to obey the state’s traffic laws. "We urge motorists to desist from attacking, maiming or assaulting innocent officers who are tirelessly working to ensure that we get to our various destinations on time and safely," he said.
