The reckless driving by those seemingly behind the wheels of authority has become a recurring theme of news items and another tragedy struck the humble home of a family in Akure.
The driver of one of the monarchs in Ondo State allegedly killed two siblings due to his reckless driving.
The incident had involved the driver and two cyclists in the capital city of Ondo State, Akure, on Wednesday, after the driver had gotten into a chase with another driver he said had parked illegally in front of the palace.
The driver had been alerted by security outside the palace and tried to apprehend the motorist who parked illegally, but he zoomed off and according to the pilot driver, he hit a passerby. The pilot driver then gave hot chase but in the process hit the siblings who rode motorbikes in the vicinity.
The identities of both deceased are yet unknown but the monarch’s press secretary said the issue had been resolved without much incident.
Police spokesman Femi Joseph, a Superintendent of Police (SP), however said the incident had not been reported at the state command.
RIP
God bless the family of the victims and help them in their loss. I hope the driver will be brought to court to answer for this. tragic
