Nigerian man killed by a lorry after storming out of car during row with his wife

A Nigerian man was killed on a motorway after getting out of a car on the way to the airport after a fight with his wife over their credit card.

Daily Mail reports 
Nahinmu Nicholas had stormed out of the Ford Focus with his suitcases, saying he was going to hitch-hike to Heathrow, but was knocked down by a lorry in the morning darkness.
His wife had pulled over on what they both thought was the hard shoulder of the M25, not realising that it was a live lane because of roadworks. A coroner was told that lorry driver Martin Hook was unable to avoid Mr Nicholas as he suddenly caught sight of him.
His 13-tonne bread lorry also struck the couple’s car in the accident just six minutes after they had stopped on the clockwise carriageway of the M25 at junction 6 for Godstone,  Surrey, at around 4.30am on April 10.
Florence Olokun-Ola told the inquest in Woking, Surrey, that her husband was going to Nigeria alone for 12 days and that the fight started because she wanted their bank card while he was away. ‘The argument became very aggressive and his voice changed,’ she added.

Mrs Olokun-Ola, who had earlier told how financial problems had caused tension in their relationship, said she no longer felt comfortable driving and pulled over to what she thought was the hard shoulder.
She added: ‘He took off his seat belt. As soon as the car stopped he took the keys and opened the boot and took out his luggage. He put it by the crash barrier.’
In an attempt to get her husband back in the car Mrs Olokun-Ola drove forward a bit, but he started to walk back down the carriageway  trying to thumb a lift.

Then she felt the force of the  collision as the lorry struck the rear of her car.
‘I got out the car and at first I was angry because he didn’t come  running over to see if I was okay,’ she said. She then discovered her  husband’s body and ran back to the car to dial 999.
Mr Hook said he was travelling through the roadworks at 50mph. ‘The next thing I knew was there was a dark shadow in front of me,’ he added. ‘I turned straight away to the centre of the carriageway.’
A post-mortem examination  concluded that Mr Nicholas died as a result of severe head injuries.

Accident reconstruction officer PC Dominic Gibson said that the stretch of the M25 where the accident  happened was unlit. He said there were signs warning that the hard shoulder was now a live lane.

Assistant Surrey Coroner Michael Burgess recorded a verdict that Mr Nicholas, of Dartford, Kent, died as a result of a road traffic collision.

omg! anger is just one letter short of 'Danger
sad

McQ said...

All these women that nag, complain about anything and are self centered (imagine after the impact, she was expecting him to ask if she was ok when he was the one at the back of the car), Take note! She would live with the guilt the rest of her life.

Rough diamond shut your trap u call a mouth. Everything with Nigerians is always looking for someone to blame and evil doesn't go amiss. Why would the wife have planned it? Read the story properly, rather again if you didn't understand d English.... Finance has been an ongoing issue in the marriage. It's very sad the husband died, and may his soul rest in peace. However this should be a lesson to all, you should never ever have a heated argument whilst behind d wheel....

That lady would continue to feel guilty for the rest of her life, and blame herself for his death....
Questions like; what if? Would be whirling through her mind...
And if they had kids....
They would continue to blame their mum inwardly for his death and in their hearts they would be convinced that 'daddy would be alive today but for mummy's failure to keep quiet or keep driving'
Ouch!
What a painful way to die.
Rest in peace Sir.

This is why Nigerian men in the uk and us don't marry Nigerian women! Something they could have resolved at home! But no. She has rights so she can talk, argue, fight, slap her husband. How can u be arguing wiv your husband on the way to the airport instead of u to pray he goes and comes back alive and well. No abuse o.

This is very bad reporting, the same mistake all the newspapaers, tv and radio stations in Nigeria make. Where did this happen? State? Country? Very bad for pple who are supposed to be writers. Mentioning heathrow airport is not explaining anytin.

@Rough Diamond, November 28, 2013 at 9:05 PM- how can you say a dreadful thing that like?? If she had planned it, she would have been nabbed by the Met- the UK is not like Nigeria where people routinely get away with crime! Here, they actually investigate crimes!

This is a sad case. Anger destroys. I pray God comforts the wife cos im sure she wont have peace now and she probably didn't know it would end that way. May he rest in peace. Really sad. And all 'Nwa Ojo" could say was "she is lucky, now she has the card to herself, bad husband bad market".... how can one be so shallow?

Nigerian women in the UK?? I fear them!
One big fool was telling me how much money British government was going to pay a woman whose husband died in an accident! I was like wtf, the guy lost his life and the idiot was like "and so what, he is dead". Yea but how about some sympathy and no talk about money!
I spoke with my legs, ran so fast and never looked back.

Its about the money, money, money. Naija people, u love money more than life.

snowhity said...

You all should not keep passing judgement on what you don't have facts about. This incident is as it happened to a relative of mine and the husband was not going to Naija for "AWAY MATCH".He was actually travelling to Nigeria for his mother's burial.
And the wife cannot be blamed becoz construction was said to be on-going on the highway.
Just a lesson learnt, our men should contain their anger.
