Motor Boy Crushes to Death at Ogolonto, Lastma Nabs Truck Driver

In a distressing and avoidable tragedy that unfolded late last night (Wednesday, 12th Nov. 2025) officers of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) Special Night Gang Patrol Team apprehended the driver of a heavily loaded truck after he fatally crushed his motor boy to death at Ogolonto Traffic Light Intersection, inward Ikorodu Roundabout.

The ghastly incident occurred at approximately 11:00 p.m., when LASTMA’s vigilant night-duty personnel, who were on a routine patrol for traffic regulation and monitoring within the Ikorodu corridor, swiftly intervened upon witnessing the horrific scene.

Second preliminary findings from the joint security investigation revealed that the deceased motor boy had alighted from the moving loaded truck to assist the driver in stabilizing the truck by placing a wooden plank beneath its tyres, as the braking mechanism of the vehicle was reportedly defective. In the course of this effort, the unfortunate motor boy slipped and fell beneath the rear tyres, which ran over him, resulting in his instantaneous and tragic death.

Displaying exceptional promptness and professionalism, LASTMA officers immediately cordoned off the accident scene to forestall further chaos and ensure the safety of other road users.
Operatives of the Ipakodo Police Division were swiftly contacted and arrived at the scene to take over the case.

The apprehended truck driver was formally handed over to the police by Lastma personnel for further interrogation and investigation, while the remains of the deceased were conveyed by police operatives to the General Hospital, Ikorodu, for proper deposition.

To avert a secondary accident or traffic obstruction, the LASTMA Special Night Gang Team promptly evacuated the ill-fated truck from the expressway, thereby restoring smooth vehicular movement and ensuring unhindered traffic flow along the route.

The General Manager of LASTMA, Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki, expressed profound grief over the sad occurrence and conveyed his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family. He prayed for divine consolation and the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.

Decrying the preventable nature of the tragedy, Mr. Bakare-Oki sternly admonished truck drivers and commercial transport operators to undertake regular mechanical inspections of their vehicles particularly the braking systems before setting out on any journey.

He emphasized that mechanical negligence and poor vehicle maintenance pose severe risks not only to the operators themselves but also to the lives of innocent road users.

The General Manager further reiterated the Lagos State Government’s unwavering resolve to promote road safety, discipline, and orderliness across all highways in the state through sustained enforcement, proactive public enlightenment, and strategic collaboration with security and safety agencies.
