Yinka Johnson, the banker accused of crushing a LASTMA official to death
on Friday August 10th has been freed of the murder charge. The police,
some LASTMA officials, eye witnesses and some members of the press
visited the scene of the incident yesterday Monday August 13th to
investigate further and afterwards all agreed that Yinka's car was not
the car that hit and killed 33 year old Hammed Balogun. Eye-witnesses,
including the one inside the bus that allegedly killed hammed, gave the
police a clear account of what really happened that Friday.
After the investigation yesterday, the police officially dropped the
murder charge and instead arraigned her for driving recklessly.
Yinka Johnson was brought to the Igbosere Magistrate Court today to face
a one-count charge of driving recklessly. She was granted bail and
ordered to pay fine. The case was adjourned to Sept 3rd.
