A 21-year-old driver, Olumide Olushola, claimed he inadvertently struck and killed a Lagos police sergeant during a stop-and-search operation in Egbeda. The incident happened on September 26, 2026, around 2:20 pm. Olushola initially stated that his vehicle's brakes failed, but later admitted he noticed the brakes were still slipping after refueling before the accident.
He said he had taken the Lexus ES 350 to a mechanic the day before the incident for brake pad replacement. The police sergeant, Johnson Okediji, was dragged under the vehicle for several meters before being rescued. Olushola was captured and later paraded. The chief of police, Fatai Tijani, said the investigation into the sergeant's death was ongoing.
