Woman arrested for dumping body of accident victim on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested one Anita Harrison for allegedly mistreating the body of an accident victim, Nofiat Idowu.

According to the police, Harrison allegedly knocked the deceased with her Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) on March 3 at Ikeja and eventually dumped her corpse along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway after she confirmed her dead at a hospital she rushed her to.

The state Commissioner of Police (CP) Hakeem Odumosu, while parading the suspect on Monday, said her action was inhuman, considering the fact that she drove past more than five police stations where she could have reported herself in a case of Road Traffic Accident.
