Tthe Committee for Defence of Human Rights (CDHR), Lagos State chapter, has called on authorities to conduct psychiatric tests on drivers of state–owned vehicles.

The call followed the recent death of six persons in a collision involving a train and Bus Rapid Transport in PWD Ikeja, Lagos. The bus was conveying staff members of Lagos State government to Alausa.

CDHR, in a statement by its Lagos State chairman, Comrade Kehinde Adeoye, sympathised with families of those who lost their relatives and wished the injured speedy recovery.“It would be recalled that on Saturday, February 26, 2022, a 22-year old fashion designer, Miss Oluwabamise Ayanwola, met her untimely death inside a Lagos State-owned facility operated by the Lagos Bus Services Limited .

“Sunday, February 26, 2023, made it a year, yet the case is still in court having suffered several unnecessary adjournments. Ayanwola was only buried on December 16, 2022. “This is one incident too many. We, hereby, call on Lagos State government to do all within its powers to conduct psychiatric tests for drivers of state-owned vehicles.

“Government should also name the three other persons said to be inside BRT Bus No. 240257 apart from Andrew Nice Ominikoron, the driver, at the time of Ayanwola’s brutal murder and their accomplices.”
