Ladoja |
Adebola Ladoja, one of the sons of the former Governor of Oyo State, Senator Rasheed Ladoja, yesterday lost his life in a ghastly auto crash in Lagos. SHOWBIZPLUSng gathered the accident occurred on Eko Bridge.
The deceased, who was driving a Golf saloon car with registration number AKD 107 CJ, was said to have been on his way to Lagos Island when a DAF truck, with registration number JJJ 59 XA ran into his car.
According to an eyewitness account, the driver of
the truck, identified as Justice Osaghai, who was on top speed, lost control
and rammed into the median of the bridge before it eventually ran into Ladoja’s
car.
The eyewitness who was identified as Femi Alonso, said: “The victim would have survived the crash if the first set of people that arrived the scene had attempted to carry out first aid treatment.
“Rather, they were more concerned with forming a
ring around the victim and taking pictures. Some of them however prevented the
driver of the truck from running away when he tried to.
Alonso said the intervention of the policemen and
officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Agency (LASMA) saved the driver
as the visibly furious mob was about to lynch him.
He said when rescue effort finally began, it took
several hours before they could break into the vehicle, as the victim was
trapped behind the wheel with blood gushing out of his head as a result of the
impact he had with the front windshield.
Confirming the incident and the identity of the
deceased, the state police spokesperson, Ngozi Braide, a Deputy Superintendent
of Police, said the accident occurred at about 3.30 p.m.
She said: “The accident occurred on Eko bridge
when a Daf truck with registration number JJJ 59 XA driven by one Justice
Oseghai ran into a Volkswagen Golf car with registration number AKD 107 CJ
driven by one Adebola Ladoja, the son of the former governor of Oyo State,
Senator Rasheed Ladoja.
“The victim died on the spot. The corpse has been
moved to the Lagos Island General Hospital Mortuary for autopsy while the truck
driver is in police custody.”
