The
RRS men were on duty point patrolling along Ogudu-Alapere axis,
inspecting the Light Up Lagos Project facilities, when the accident
occurred at about 12:06 am on Sunday.
According to the information gathered at the scene of accident, RRS men
were driving when a KIA Rio with lone occupant on a high speed rammed
into them from behind.
An eyewitness who was at the scene of the
incident and later conveyed the injured to Lagos State Teaching Hospital
(LASUTH), Ikeja for treatment.
"The RRS vehicle was going slowly on the
road because they were monitoring the Light Up Lagos Project facilities
when the KIA Rio on top speed from Lagos Island towards Alapere rammed
into the RRS Ford car with registration number RRS 068 LA, thereby
bundling it and the officers into a nearby ditch. Four officers of the
RRS were seriously injured including the driver of the car in the
accident.
As at the time of writing this report, three of the RRS
operatives have been discharged from the hospital, while one along with
the driver of the speeding vehicle is expected to be discharge later in
the day.
Further investigation into the identity of the KIA Rio
driver revealed that he just started the car hire services on Friday
after leaving the services of a truck driving firm.
It would be
recalled that vandals have been ceaselessly tampering with Light Up
Lagos cables before the commissioning of the project in April. One Lucky
Udeagwu was arrested with a 35 meter long cable meant for the project
in Ogudu.
In May, RRS operatives again arrested another suspect,
Obaji Christopher, for cutting the project cable at the Ogudu axis.
These informed the constant monitoring of the area by the operatives,
particularly at night.

Very Sad and I wish the RRS men and the driver speedy recovery. However, the story is following the same pattern of blaming all accidents on over speeding. Who monitored the speed? The Policemen were on surveillance on the express driving slowly on the expressway at 2 am. What do you expect? Of course an accident. Were they on the slow or fast lane? Was their Hazard light on? At what speed is was their slow speed. Anyone driving on that stretch of road would not expect to see a slow moving vehicle because of the robbery between Ogudu and Alapere.
The Police instead of trying to find fault with the driver of the kia should put the blame where it belongs. They were the cause of the accident. They should pay damages to the car Hire driver. We thank God no life was lost. Thank you.

I hear.
There were inspecting the project indeed.
Those guys drive and behave anyhow on the road because there are on uniform.
Na so them stop tipper in the middle of the 3rd MLB which led to an accident that claim a chara chara 2016 Avalon and a corrolla. Guess what?
They took off. You can't be inspecting and driving at 20km/h in the middle of a road as busy as Lag-Ib exp road by 12am. That's the only time we have to check the power of our V6 engines.
Omg!!
Thank God for saving his people.
