This isn’t just an anyhow person, This is my good friend.
Imagine this happens to you or someone close to you.
We really can’t continue living like this in this country..
Sometimes, you don’t fully understand how broken a system is until you become a victim of it.
I had an accident on Sunday night. An incident that could have happened to anybody. Someone was driving against traffic, and in an attempt to avoid hitting the vehicle, I tried to maneuver through the available space. Unfortunately, another collision occurred, and I lost control of my car.
The aftermath was terrible. A furniture shop was damaged, a tricycle rider sustained injuries, and another vehicle was affected. I take responsibility for the damage and have made commitments to settle the affected parties. Nobody deserves to suffer because of an accident.
But what happened afterwards opened my eyes to another side of Nigeria.
The person who was driving against traffic reportedly fled the scene, leaving me to deal with the entire situation.
I went to the police station the following day to give my statement and resolve the matter. Instead, I found myself detained and faced with a ₦500,000 payment to secure my release.
Think about that for a moment. An accident happens, you’re already dealing with the emotional, physical and financial consequences, and then you have to navigate a system that seems more interested in what it can collect from you than in establishing the facts and ensuring justice.
The people affected are demanding settlements, the police are demanding money, and somehow, the person whose reckless driving contributed to the incident is nowhere to be found.
Where is the accountability? Where is the justice?
This is not an attempt to escape responsibility. I understand that people suffered losses, and I am willing to make things right. But why should an unfortunate incident become an opportunity for exploitation?
How can we continue to talk about freedom, justice and the rule of law when ordinary citizens are left at the mercy of a system that should protect them?
Nigeria needs more than slogans about freedom. We need institutions that work, law enforcement that is accountable, and a justice system that treats people fairly.
An accident should not become an opportunity for extortion.
Anybody can have an accident. Today, it’s me. Tomorrow, it could be anyone @yabaleftonline @notokiki
