Odunayo Alade, father of Kehinde Alade, the WASSCE candidate who was killed by a stray bullet at Gbagi Market Road, Ibadan, in the Egbeda Local Government Area of Oyo State on Tuesday, said that he didn’t stop for law enforcement agents because his son was running late for his examination.

Speaking in an interview Alade denied breaking the one-way traffic law, as he had no idea he was driving through a one-way route, since it is a regular route for drivers in the area, and the road was just a stone’s throw from the main lane.

When asked why he did not stop when security officials tried to stop him, Alade said he was only focused on getting his son to his examination centre early, so they don’t get there late.

Alade added that he heard the gunshot but didn’t stop until his son began screaming in pain, and soaked in blood.

Alade said he later realised that both Oyo Traffic Management Agency personnel and policemen were after him, and he quickly held one of the operatives when he saw them.
