Four passengers, including a woman and her two children killed after a police officer allegedly dragged the steering wheel with a driver in the Ago Palace Way of Okota in Lagos state.

An eyewitness who posted the this on his X once, formerly called Twitter, said the driver was earlier arrested by some officers.

He narrated that the ugly incident happened when the driver attempted to escape while he was being taken to the police station in the area.

@tobe_stevee, wrote, “Something happened in my area this morning. The Police arrested a driver; one got into his car while the others followed. on the way to the station, at the Okota roundabout, the driver decided to play a fast one and diverted to another way.

“While in motion, the policeman and driver began to contest for the steering wheel. Eventually, they both lost control, and the car hit a tricycle (keke). In the tricycle, A woman with her two kids and the rider. All of them died. May their soul Rest In Peace”.

All efforts made by Wakadaily to reach the command for reaction proved abortive as the Public Public Relations officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, could not take a call when.
