The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the development to our correspondent on Tuesday. He said, “The owner of the Honda Saloon car turned himself in yesterday (Monday) night and he will be taken to court today for manslaughter. “It was not murder, it was an accident and was not deliberate, so he will be charged with manslaughter.”It was earlier reported that the driver after crushing the two LAWMA sweepers took off leaving his car. He was reported to have rammed into the sweepers while allegedly trying to escape from officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority. The statement partly read, “Immediate investigation revealed that no LASTMA officer was involved in the unfortunate incident.
