By Paul Iyoghojie
Some merry makers and children on Lateef Jakande Road, Agidingbi, Ikeja, Lagos escaped death by the whiskers on Boxing Day when an unidentified driver in a Honda Accord car with registration number BD 984 AAA crashed into a residential premises.
The accident occurred around 8 p.m. at Agidingbi Bus Stop. Though no life was lost, the vehicle was seriously damaged, while the driver and three occupants came out unhurt.
The cause of the accident could not be ascertained, but a witness told P.M.NEWS that he was outside the building enjoying himself with other friends when the car lost control and crashed into the premises after damaging the fence demarcating the premises from the road.
He stated that the accident must have occurred as a result of overspeeding or drunkeness by the driver.
He warned drivers not to drink and drive, adding that they should also avoid overspeeding because it could lead to death.
He thanked policemen from the Alausa Police Station who arrived the scene later and towed the vehicle to their station.
Efforts by P.M.NEWS to locate the whereabouts of the driver proved abortive, as the policemen refused to divulge any information about him.
