Tragedy struck on Wednesday when a 26-year-old man, Olajide Asade, was crushed to death by a commercial car, while he was making a video call to his girlfriend at the Adedero village on the Abeokuta-Siun-Sagamu Expressway.

The accident involved a Honda Odyssey car with number plate AAA 589 FV, which was conveying crates of eggs.

It was gathered that the deceased was reportedly making a video call to his girlfriend while crossing the road when the accident occurred.

An eyewitness told our correspondent that the deceased and his brother boarded a car from the Kuto motor park in Abeokuta, but the vehicle developed a mechanical fault on the road.
The eyewitness said while the other engers were standing by the roadside waiting for the driver to repair the vehicle, the deceased reportedly concentrated on the video call.
The deceased’s brother, Azeez, said they were both travelling to their mother’s residence in the Ajah area of Lagos State.

Azeez confirmed that his brother had been making a video call to his girlfriend since they took off from Kuto in Abeokuta.

He added that they left their apartment at Ijoga in Abeokuta very early in the morning to embark on the journey.

Azeez maintained that the driver of the car, who hit Olajide, was on a normal speed.

The driver, whose car hit the deceased, Bolaji Balogun, said Olajide was the one who bumped into his vehicle.

Balogun, an employee of an agro firm, said he was going to the Obasanjo Farm to purchase crates of eggs for his company.

The driver stated that the deceased had already got to the front of his car before he could apply the brake.

Confirming the crash, the Public Relations Officer of the Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps, Babatunde Akinbiyi, said there were two male occupants in the vehicle that killed Olajide.

Akinbiyi said eyewitnesses narrated that a pedestrian was on a call while crossing the road and was knocked down by a vehicle heading for Abeokuta.

He stated, “There is a road diversion along the Abeokuta-Siun-Sagamu interchange due to the ongoing reconstruction; the deceased probably assumed it would be better and safer for him to cross to the other side, where road reconstruction is ongoing.

“The man, while crossing back to the other side of the road, was making a video call and was oblivious to the fact that a vehicle was coming from the Sagamu end to Abeokuta.

“The vehicle, a Honda Odyssey, hit him and he died on the spot.

“His corpse has been deposited in the morgue of the General Hospital, Ijaiye, Abeokuta, while the driver of the Honda Odyssey and the vehicle are now at the state Motor Traffic Division, Ibara, Abeokuta.”

Moral of the story; stop making video calls with your girlfriend.

...while walking on a busy road.

in life you only know ...NOW

Nawa o

Anyway something must kill a man.

Misplaced priorities.

Sadly, Life continues and the girl he was trying to impress will move on without thinking twice. Parents and siblings will forever cry their heart out.

Too much of everything isn't good.
RIP young man.

New technologies always brings
new ways to die!!

If video calls were not invented, this
dude would still be alive.

Now somebody else will inherit
the olosho girlfriend & continue 'digging' from
where he stopped..


Choi!!

This world ehnn!!

How can one be so caught up in a phone that you are walking on the road without a care in the world.



Imagine what he gf would see. Her boos face and then bang his dead body.

Just imagine oo
Someone will be crossing the road while making a video call not voice call oo.
What do you think will happen. Hmmm
Rip to him

Hmmmmm


Update: now another guy will started fvcking that girl.....what a dumb move to be doing video while crossing the express....

Dude died in a bad way...¶ip sha

Girlfriend: where are you now?

Boyfriend: we had a stop over nearby due to little fault on the vehicle. (" Boyfriend dashed to the other side of the road without looking left or right then it sounded "gbas gbos" after he was knocked down by a vehicle)....

Girlfriend: hello, babe, what's going on? Talk to me now? What's happening?

Stranger/wailer : you caused his death idiot, get out of here were... (She dropped the call immediately to call his brother... )

It's also not wise to put earpiece while walking along the road.

May his soul rest in peace !

Egungun finally threw caution to the winds on the expressway

NextD18:
On his burial day, the said girlfriend will be busy riding preeeq in exchange for money as usual for ladies.

Rubbish.



That lady will be traumatized for long whether or not she loves the guy and will need some counseling if she's not cold-hearted.


She just witnessed a human being crushed to death, not just any person but someone she loves and it happened while she was talking to him.

Heck, she will even blame herself for his death. That lady needs help ASAP.

bad news
one of my friends escaped same scenario
but the person in front of him was not lucky
driver was making a call on a sharp turn, missed him by inches and killed the man in front of him

So nigga life just gone like that just because he couldn't wait to get home before doing that video call

May God have mercy on his soul.

When I do see people put on their earpiece while using the road...I do wonder why someone will be playing with his or her life.

See eeh,We only live and die ONCE....make una pity una parent(s) and relations....E no easy to lose or cry ontop person head

Making video call while crossing the road is total carelessness! May his soul rest in peace.

Video Call requires alot of concentration and should not be done outdoor.

Dumb

Egungun be careful! Na express you dey go!

Who knows what the girl was showing him that got him so engrossed...

This is a lesson to guys who go after what they see, they'll get crushed eventually.

Moral of the story: the more you look, the less you see.

So sad

Girlfriend don lead this one to his untimely death..

RIP Man

How i wish this can be send as sms to all Nigerians to read it. And the family will be crying now.. RIP

He died in active service to his girlfriend. Another man will continue from where he stop. RIP
