BUS&TRAIN CLASH: Bus Driver Begs For Forgiveness, pleads with victim

The driver of the Lagos State Government Staff bus who was blamed for the incident that led to a train colliding with a bus at the PWD/ Shogunle railway line, on the Agege motor road, Lagos  Thursday, has appealed to victims of the accident to forgive him.

While some survivors claimed that the 44-year-old driver, Oluwaseun Osinbajo, was using his earphone while driving and disobeyed the flag officers’ orders at the rail line, he instead assigned blame for the accident to a mechanical issue with the bus.

In addition, the Police stated that as of the time this report was being written, the results of the medical report, which included a blood sample to determine if the driver was using drugs or not, had not been released.

The driver was yesterday handed to the State Criminal Intelligence and Investigations Directorate, SCIID, from the Lagos State Ministry of Transport.

He was telling some of his waiting relatives something, which was overhead by the media.

He said, “ It was not my fault. How could I have ignored warning signs? The bus had a mechanical fault.

“ It is a pity this has happened. I beg everyone affected to please forgive me in the name of God.”
