According to The Tribune, Elegbede's colleagues at the transport department of the Ministry of Labour and Employment said Taiwo is a licensed driver who had served the ministry for over 25 years. They said Taiwo's drivers license expired on January 15th 2016 and he had applied for another one but getting a licence from FRSC takes forever.
The drivers also said the Lexus 570 SUV Taiwo was driving the minister and his family in was not their car but one given to Ocholi from office of the Head of Service and the driver wasn't allowed to examine the car to check its condition and it also wasn't the driver's duty to do any sort of maintenance on the car.
According to Taiwo's colleagues, he had gone for a mechanical/electrical engineering course at the training school in Abeokuta, Ogun State, was a Higher Works Superintendent and was highly professional on his job.
RIP to the dead!
ReplyDeleteContinue to rip
Delete#spritual
well he had a licence but its an expired one so the FRSC might have the write to say he had none. yawa be that. LiKe this because some heads will roll in the FRSC office because they lied to PMB.
ReplyDeletePKE
They should live the innocent guy abeg, he is not the cause of their dead. Besides how many accidents do they take time to investigate like this one? Biko the should allow us rest jor
ReplyDeleteOmoale ni frsc
ReplyDeleteOmoale ni frsc
ReplyDeleteIt has happened and nothing can be done about it. The government should be focused on renovating our roads especially adamawa road instead of investigating what will not bring back d dead
ReplyDeleteYet frsc kept blaming him
ReplyDelete-D great anonymous now as Vivian Reginalds
Hmmmm...more stories
ReplyDeleteAbeg it has already happened. And I think that winch winch was involved
ReplyDeletePEPSI ADDICT

#sad indeed
Wow. So they are saying the killed this man and family and they are trying to blame the driver. The truth would come out some day. God have mercy on this country.
ReplyDeleteAbeg the deed has been done. They should not point finger nd allow the dead rip
ReplyDeleteLIB ADDICT#just passing#
License or no license has nothing t do wen ones time is up .Our God is unquestionable God..More to it the reason why they refuse him to inspect the car is wat am yet to understand .....God knows best .
ReplyDeleteAtleast its now justified dat he is legal
ReplyDeleteEnugu's second shoe designer
The convoy was over speeding. They shudnt try to make the poor man their fall guy just becos its a minister involved. Dat wud be most unfair to his grieving loved ones abeg
ReplyDeleteThank God the ministry has cleared this poor driver from the false report of frsc. May God forgive them for lying. Getting a drivers licence from them na eternity.
ReplyDeleteMay God help nija ...
ReplyDeleteHmmmm somthing is wrong in this statement
ReplyDeleteTaught as much
ReplyDeleteFor me, having a valid driving license is neccessary but a more critical issue is for FRSC to state the speed that the was moving at the time of the accident.
ReplyDeleteToh...they just killed that man
ReplyDeleteYou dey see am? Many employers in Nigeria are quick to exonerating themselves from issues of this kind thus laying blames in order to come clean. FRSC shame to you. At least a good Nigerian has come to Taiwo's defence even in his death with a clear evidence and evident truth.
ReplyDeleteTruth shall always surpasses lies no matter how they hide it
ReplyDeleteSipping my hennessy
Expired lic....
ReplyDeleteHian! Is dat d issue?
ReplyDelete...merited happiness
He had only that it has expired. Looking for an innocent man to pin the blame on.
ReplyDeleteAwww! Glad some people are defending the poor man.
ReplyDeleteFrom the legal view of it,once it has expired,it is invalid.in that case,he did not have drivers license.
ReplyDeleteThat is how one is denied in Nigeria once something goes wrong. FRSC releasing fake statement to make it seem they are working.
ReplyDeleteThe deeds has being done.

DeleteFact
DeleteGod knows the truth
DeleteOK..
DeleteOK..
DeleteDon't mind Nigerian government because he's not wealthy his name and family should now be dragged to the Mud. There is a judge in heaven men always forget.
DeleteYou see because they want to blame him for the accident
ReplyDeleteThey should let the dead rest biko
ReplyDeleteD's is the old fake license all of us was carrying at a time. No capture at FRSC with this
ReplyDeleteI know that FRSC Lied how can a minister driver drive without liecence
ReplyDeleteIt is expired
ReplyDeleteThis drivers license appeared fake. How can a man of almost fifty years have a license with 2013 as first date of issue. How long has he been driving? It's likely a case of road side drivers license
ReplyDeleteWhat has he not having a license got to do with the unfortunate accident???let them let this man at abeg...,.
ReplyDeleteGovernment is just looking for whom to blame, totally unfair to blame this driver for anything.
ReplyDeleteThey should just not deny this man's family anything due him ooo. With all this stories.
ReplyDeleteIf truly he didn't have a driver's license and was employed by a minister then our system is dead, wrong people in the the right places, those people just coming out with all kinds of stories, the other time they said the driver came out of the car with just a scratch, and was taken pictures putting it on social media, only to find out the driver also lost his life, abeg make them leave us with this story. , we have got too much to worry about at this time in Nigeria
ReplyDeleteThe FRSC director think he speaking to kids in this nation, how will a driver that’s driving the Honourable Minister not have a driving license? The question is Who employed the driver to be attach to the Minister? How will someone without no license get a job to driver a minister?
ReplyDeleteDey r Jst looking for who to blame, make dem free d man abeg. Linda observe!
ReplyDeleteOur govt is clueless. Na today!!
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me? So they lied? Our civil service has become a death trap - secretly deal with an unwanted person and blame someone else for it.
ReplyDeleteAnd who say Licensed drivers don have accidents..yeye FRSC...God knew why such happend
ReplyDeleteFRSC is a pretty liar. look hoe they pinned the death of the Minister on the driver saying he has no licence.
ReplyDeleteThis licence expired in Jan
ReplyDeleteGOVERNMENT SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BAD ROAD. POOR MAN IS IN TROUBLE IN THIS COUNTRY. IT'S UNFORTUNATE IT HAS HAPPENED LET'S ALL KEEP QUITE AND HAND EVERYTHING TO GOD AND ALLOW THERE DEAD TO REST IN PEACE.
ReplyDeleteCan u imagine,someone that as been driven dem for some years now, come on! FRSC!!!

Useless road safety pple I don't blame dem when de don't hv good records on their systems
ReplyDeleteThe issue we have is the nature of our roads,the FRSC always take advantage of spolt roads to stop cars, so it's as if they pray for the road to always be bad, if proper investigation is done the accident could be as a result of bad road,here they are talking about drivers license,In this country our problem is leaving the major for minor.people must ve been dying on the same road govt and we may not care, now our minister pls let's do something about our roads first before looking for whom to blame of having license or not.I still love nig.but we need serious prayers for a better change.

ReplyDeleteDon't mind road safety.
ReplyDeleteOkay.
ReplyDeletePepper body the worry FRSC.
#FINEST
All this are wrought stories, I'm not getting them right,
ReplyDeleteEverything from this government is propaganda. If they say good morning to you do not response because it is all propaganda coming from All Propaganda Congress
ReplyDeleteFrom the picture, the licence has expired so they are not wrong saying he doesn't have any driver's licence. But what i don't like is blaming the driver for their death.
ReplyDeletea fake license or an expired one is as good as NO LICENSE.
