A 51-year-old man, Frederick Olorunfemi, has lost his life while confronting a school bus driver of Luyol Schools, Lagos state for allegedly molesting his daughter.
It was gathered that the 7-year-old daughter of the deceased had told her mother that the driver, on the 1st of February, 2023, after conveying other students to their destinations, drove her to his house where she was directed to lift her school uniform and sit on his lap. She added that the driver kissed her and called her his wife.
On hearing this, Mr. Olorunfemi was said to have contacted the school director and explained to him that he would proceed to the police station to report everything, but he was told to first stop by the school the following day to which he obliged.
At the school, the driver was invited for questioning and when the father of the victim confronted him for the illicit act, this led to an altercation between them. The school bus driver was said to have pushed Mr. Femi, who fell down and was rushed to a nearby hospital, Osuntuyi Medical Centre where he was confirmed dead.
The driver has been on the run and nowhere to be found, according to the Lagos State Police spokesman, SP Benjamin Hundeyin was called, who confirmed the incident.
