A female Ebonyi State University graduate, who was knocked down by a vehicle in Ajah, Lagos, is to remain in coma while her colleagues resume at the orientation camp for members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in April 2018.
The young lady, Adeyinka Adelekan, was reportedly hit by a SUV driven by Saviour Henry, as she made to cross a road.
According to Punch News, the driver was attempting to evade Oluwatobiloba Olorunosebi, who was occupying another vehicle when he bruised the victim, a Geology graduate, causing her to suffer a brain injury as well as a fracture on her leg.
Adelekan has been in coma since the incident occurred on Tuesday, December 19, 2018.
The men believed to be responsible for her plight have been made to appear at the Igbosere Magistrate’s Court, Lagos, on charges relating to reckless driving.
“That you, Oluwatobiloba Olorunosebi and Saviour Henry, on December 19, 2017, at 4.30pm at Skido bus stop, along Pump & S, Eti Osa, Lagos, in the Lagos Magisterial District, being the drivers of a Toyota Highlander with the number plate, AKD 922 EA and a Toyota RAV 4, with the number plate, KJA 582 BW, did drive the said vehicles dangerously on the highway and cause serious injuries to one Miss Adeyinka Adelekan, while the pedestrian was walking, thereby committing an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 18 of the Road Traffic Act Law of Lagos State, Nigeria, 2012.
