Lagos State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of the driver of the government staff bus that collided with a moving train in the state. The police said the drive will soon be prosecuted.
The Commissioner for Police in the state, Yetunde Longe, said, “After investigations and taking of the necessary details, the driver whose name is Oluwaseun Osinbajo, will be arraigned in court.
“First, he will be transferred to the Director Public Prosecutions, DPP, because of the fact that he is a Lagos State staff.”
Longe said the driver had been arrested after undergoing psychiatric, and drug tests.
The said driver, who was among those rushed to LASUTH, was said to have been ushered into another unit in the hospital for psychiatric, physiological and drug tests.
“We are investigating the number of people that died in the crash. An autopsy will be conducted on the remains of the victims on Friday.
“Presently, we are with the driver, we are handing him over to doctors for medical examinations because there was a flag officer at the railway crossing, flagging him down, but he refused to stop.
“This is why we must subject him to a medical examination. As a driver, this is one of the tests you have to take note of because when you get to a level crossing, the train will be honking for people to know that a train is coming. Drivers should ensure they are patient for the train pass.”
