A fatal road accident over the weekend at Origan, Oko-Afo, along the Badagry Expressway, has claimed the life of a commercial tricycle operator following a head-on collision with a vehicle allegedly driving against traffic.

The crash, which has drawn widespread condemnation, involved a Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC SUV bearing the customized plate number “OSUNFNKE” and a commercial tricycle with registration number MUS 716 QM.

Preliminary investigations by the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) revealed that the SUV was driving against the designated flow of traffic — a “one-way” violation — from Ile-Epo towards Oko-Afo when it collided with the oncoming tricycle. Nation
