In the first incident, a truck suffering brake failure collided with a commercial tricycle and a stationary Toyota Camry before veering into the Ayetoro Market Complex.

The accident, which took place around midday at Ayeyoro traffic light in Epe, resulted in the tragic deaths of the tricycle driver and two students.

According to the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), the truck was descending from Ita-Opo when its brakes failed, causing it to crash into the tricycle (AGL 442 QC), the Toyota Camry, and finally into the market area.

LASTMA officials, along with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), swiftly responded to the scene, securing the area and transferring the bodies to the Epe General Hospital Mortuary.

The wreckage was cleared to ease traffic and ensure the safety of other road users, LASTMA General Manager Mr. Olalekan Bakare-Oki confirmed.

Shortly after, another fatal accident occurred at Ijaye, near Abule-Egba. The collision involved an LT Bus (FKJ 762 AD) and a Toyota Hiace Bus (MUS 154 YE), both reportedly affected by brake failures.

LASTMA personnel on-site quickly rescued the driver and two passengers, who were transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.

In a third incident, a multi-vehicle crash was reported at Tsunami Bridge near Ketu. The collision involved two Volkswagen commercial buses (LSD 483 CT and AGL 267) and a 10-tyre DAF truck, leaving three people—two women and one man—with varying degrees of injury.

LASTMA officers promptly evacuated the injured to a local hospital, with security support from Alapere Police.

Addressing the incidents, LASTMA’s General Manager Bakare-Oki urged motorists to prioritize vehicle maintenance, particularly of braking systems, to prevent further tragedies.

“Regular maintenance checks are crucial to preventing such calamitous incidents and saving lives,” he said.

ICC Issues Arrest Warrants For Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, Others

Published

on

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has taken a historic step, issuing arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

The charges include crimes against humanity and war crimes allegedly committed during Israel’s recent assault on Gaza.

In a detailed statement, the ICC accused the Israeli leaders of “intentionally and knowingly depriving the civilian population in Gaza of objects indispensable to their survival, including food, water, and medicine and medical supplies, as well as fuel and electricity.”

The ICC’s move marks a significant escalation in international scrutiny of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Netanyahu and Gallant are alleged to have orchestrated policies that caused severe harm to the civilian population in Gaza, leading to widespread condemnation from human rights organizations.

Alongside the charges against Israeli officials, the ICC also issued an arrest warrant for Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif. Deif has long been a central figure in Hamas’s military operations. Israel’s military claims to have killed him in a July airstrike, although this has not been independently verified.

The warrants highlight growing calls for accountability amid the ongoing conflict in the region. The ICC’s actions are likely to provoke heated debate and may complicate diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving the crisis.

With the warrants issued, global attention now turns to how the international community will respond and whether any practical steps will be taken to enforce them.

Speaking during the inauguration ceremony in Benin City, Governor Okpebholo emphasized the importance of accountability in the management of public resources.

He urged the committee to carry out its assignment thoroughly and within the bounds of the law.

In his response, Okungbowa expressed gratitude to the governor for entrusting the team with the assignment, vowing to deliver results within the stipulated timeframe.

“A lot of vehicles used by the past administration are missing, as those in custody of the vehicles have refused to return them,” Okungbowa said.

“The governor deemed it fit to inaugurate us today with a mandate to recover all government vehicles in private hands.”

The committee, which includes representatives from Edo’s three senatorial districts, is set to investigate and recover the vehicles based on credible intelligence already at their disposal.

“We already have vital information regarding some persons still holding government vehicles,” Okungbowa stated. “We will do the job according to the law, and both the government and the people will be satisfied with the outcome.”

He also called on members of the public to assist the committee by providing information about any government vehicles that may still be in private possession.

“We want to appeal to members of the public who might be aware of anyone still keeping government vehicles in their houses to please inform us to enable the committee to recover such for the Edo State Government,” Okungbowa said.

The committee’s vice chairman, Rt. Hon. Victor Edoror, a former Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, will work alongside other members to ensure the success of the initiative. The public can reach the committee at 08110165121.
