“There may be a regulation in situ then if anybody chooses to not adjust the traffic laws, of course, it's subject to prosecution by the agencies involved. however on this
explicit incident, i feel we are going to leave it till the ultimate report of the investigation comes out.
“But, of course, as we say, accident is accident and no-one goes out deliberately to summersault and die, however on allegations you claimed from the family, we have a tendency to don't seem to be aware ANd anybody World Health Organization has something to the contrary – that they didn’t die in an accident – is unengaged to report back to the enforcement agencies World Health Organization can suitably take it up.”

Lawal aforementioned the national didn't extend automatic employment and scholarship edges to the driver’s relatives and alternative extant victims as a result of they're alive and still on the government’s payroll.
