When three-year-old Ikeoluwa Olaniyi was playing with her friends in her grandfather's compound in Ire Akari Estate, Isolo, Lagos, on September 3, 2013, little did she know that death was lurking.It was learnt that a teenage motorist, Chinyere Wagbaranta, in company with her brother, Chisom, and a police corporal attached to Police Mobile Force 22, Felix Adebayo, in a Mercedes Benz Sports Utility Vehicle, drove into the compound carelessly, hitting the little girl and crushing her skull.The victim's grandfather, Adesola Elegbede while fighting back tears, said Ikeoluwa was his first grandchild.He said: "Ikeoluwa lives with me and my wife. Her father works in a bank and her mother works with an accounting firm, which are both located on Victoria Island. Ikeoluwa attends a school in Ilasa, which is not far from our house. She stays with her parents during the weekend.""On the day of the incident, I came in and saw her eating yam just outside the main door and told her to go inside. A few minutes later, I wanted to go to my friend who lives a few houses away from mine and Ikeoluwa attempted to follow me but she met some of her friends playing in the compound so she joined them.""A few minutes later, I heard a loud scream that Ikeoluwa had been crushed by a vehicle in the compound. I ran to the scene and observed that the side of her head had been crushed. I saw the vehicle which hit her but the occupants had fled. I carried my grand-daughter to Good Health Hospital where she was declared dead."He ran to Isolo Police Division to report the matter&there, he met the culprits.Chinyere and her brother had hired a police as an escort to the compound to fight an occupant's children.
