- “I just wonder what would make a white guy drive on a one-way street at top speed in VI.
- He must think that he can get away with anything he does in Nigeria, or that he can bribe anyone. This happened this morning.”
- “The man was driving on a one-way road, against traffic and was going at a high speed around Sanusi Fafunwa Street, Victoria Island.
- “People had to run a helter skelter for their lives. The driver then drove into Omotola and pushed her against the wall.”
- “The impact was so great that the plate number fell off. The driver did a hit and run.
- He absconded instead of waiting to be cared for.
- A passerby took a bike and chased after him.
- “He was caught brought back and handed over to the police.
- Omotola is in critical condition at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital.
- We seek justice for Omotola, and this white man should not be released.”
