OLUWASEUN Osinbajo, the driver of the Lagos State Government staff bus that was involved in the incident that led to a train colliding with the bus at the PWD/ Shogunle railway line, on the Agege motor road in Lagos, on Thursday, March 9, 2023, has asked the families of victims for forgiveness.
According to media reports, the driver blamed the incident on a mechanical fault in the bus.
Recall that the driver, who works with the Lagos State Ministry of Transport, was transferred to the State Criminal Intelligence and Investigations Department (SCIID) on Friday, March 10, 2023.
One of the survivors of the accident, simply called Titilayo, revealed that they begged the driver of the bus to wait for the train to pass, but he refused.
On his part, the 44-year-old driver, Oluwaseun Osinbajo, was said to have his earpiece on while driving, equally ignoring the directive of the flag officers at the rail line.
He was said to be overheard narrating to some of his relatives who were waiting for him there.
“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,” he said.
