Fresh details have emerged following the arrest of the suspect who stole a pickup truck from a Lagos car lot and led authorities on a chaotic chase. Reports now reveal that the suspect allegedly rammed into nearly 40 vehicles before his eventual capture.
According to preliminary estimates, the path of destruction spanned across several major corridors along the Lekki axis:
Victoria Garden City (VGC): 10 vehicles damaged during the initial breach at the dealership and estate gates.
Chevron Axis: 11 vehicles struck as the driver attempted a high-speed escape.
Tollgate to Ajiran Corridor: 20 vehicles hit as the suspect maneuvered through heavy traffic before abandoning the vehicle near Ajiran.
With total damages running into tens of millions of Naira across 39 affected automobiles, questions are mounting over liability and restitution for the affected car owners.
