Police arrest motorist for crowding children in car
A motorist was detained by members of the Lagos State Police Command's Rapid Response Squad after he jammed fifteen kids into a Volkswagen Passat.
Eleven kids were squeezed into the car trunk while four others were locked inside by the driver, who had been hired to carry the kids to the beach.
At the command's Ikeja headquarters, State Public Relations Officer SP Benjamin Hundeyin revealed this in a statement on Friday.
According to the statement, "concerned citizens on the Lekki–Ikoyi Link Bridge at about 8 p.m. on Sunday" reported seeing the car.
“Upon intervention, the police noticed that the driver, who had been contracted to transport the children to a beach, had locked four of the children in the car trunk while 11 others were crammed together.
“Preliminary investigations revealed that one child had collapsed earlier in the day due to similar transportation conditions but recovered after receiving medical attention.”
Hundeyin stated that the command had released the children to their parents while the “suspects would be charged to court.”
