“I am calling you to thank God that I am not a dead person by now. God has spared my life. It happened two days ago when my friend, Mr Zack and I were at Enyo filling station after Ojodu Berger bus stop in Lagos to buy fuel around 6pm. Suddenly this Mack truck with registration number LND 470 XX loaded with iron materials left the road and jammed my car with full force to the extent that my car was totally damaged beyond repair.
“I thank God I was not in the car. Thank God for my life. The incident has been reported to Isheri Police Station. The driver has been detained, the truck is with the police and when I spoke with the owner of the truck, he said it would take him a year to repair my car,” said Dosu who is still in shock while chatting with our correspondent on phone.
