Hit-and-run driver kills Dangote worker in Lagos

A staff member of Dangote Refinery identified as Joseph Ameh has died after being hit by a vehicle in a hit-and-run accident in the Ibeju Lekki area of Lagos state on Thursday.

City Round gathered that the victim was walking along Golf Bustop along Lekki Epe Expressway when the yet-to-be-identified driver rammed into him and sped away.

Attempts to apprehend the driver proved abortive as he was able to abscond in his vehicle before the crowd could catch up with him.

Speaking with our correspondent, a source who witnessed the accident said, “It happened about 7 pm last night that one guy was just walking on the pedestrian side of the road near Golf Bustop that suddenly a speeding private vehicle ran into him.
