December 15, 2016 – Speeding Driver Flees After Killing Baby & Mother At Araromi In Ikere Ekiti
A nursing mother and her 1-year-old baby died on Wednesday in a car crash at Araromi area of Ikere Ekiti in Ikere LGA of Ekiti state.
The baby was being breast fed when a Toyota 4 Runner Model loses control and rammed into a shop and injured 5 others before killing the nursing mother and her child.
The unidentified driver reportedly abandoned his car and fled after the crash.
Those injured are currently receiving treatment at General Hospital Ikere while the bodies of the deceased had been deposited at the mortuary.
SAD EVENT! I HOPE the man fled to a police station, for I don’t know how a normal man could comfortably live the rest of his life with the thought that he had mistakenly killed somebody and ran away. A jail sentence or any other penalty prescribed by the law could help to clear the guilt from his conscience.
Unless the car was stolen, it could be used to trace the driver. I guess he had to flee to escape possible lynching by an angry mob.
Very sad story !
RIP to the dead.
Not a good news, rip to the dead.
this is really sad…he should just go and report himself to the police so he won’t die of guilty conscience
