Omotomi Akinsanya, a Nigerian woman, has been confirmed dead after being crushed by a Toyota 4Runner driven by a Lebanese, John Greg, on Sanusi Fafunwa Street in the Victoria Island area of Lagos State.
Recall that AEM had earlier reported that the hit and run driver was caught and detained by the Nigerian police.
She reportedly died over the weekend at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) in Ikeja’s Intensive Care Unit after battling for her life a month after the accident.
In May, Greg had crushed Akinsanya against a wall while driving against traffic (also known as wrong-way driving).
In an attempt to flee the scene after ramming into the victim, the Lebanese reversed his car and sped away.
Benjamin Hundeyin, a police spokesperson, told journalists on Sunday that the charges against Mr. Greg had been amended to reflect the new information.
