On Friday August 24,2012 around 9pm,a young man,Monsoor Abidoye Alliyu was knocked down by a bus belonging to British American Tobacco company on challenge road in Ibadan.
The driver of the bus was reversing at a very top speed and hit Mr Alliyu who began bleeding from every part of his body from the impact of his body hitting the road.The driver and other occupants of the bus instead of rushing him to the hospital, took him to a police station and waited endlessly for a police report and after taking him to two hospitals finally landed with his almost lifeless body at The University College Hospital(UCH) Ibadan.
By the time they got to the hospital,he had lost a lot of blood .The officials of the British American Tobacco left the sum of Five thousand naira with the dying man and promised to come back the next morning…but that was a big lie from the pit of hell.
The bus was the official vehicle of the company’s Chief security officer Mr Paul Tawo who was also at the hospital with the victim around 2am.
Unfortunately,Mr Alliyu didn’t get fast medical attention and the delay at the police station had caused untold damage. fell into a deep coma from his injuries….his injuries so bad that his head had been crushed in.
His relatives quickly arrived Ibadan from Lagos and all necessary arrangements were made for the quick surgery he needed to survive.
He was finally scheduled for surgery around 10pm the next day August 25,2012 …..
Media friends of Mr Alliyu had made efforts to contact the management of the company whose vehicle was responsible for the accident and they showed up at the hospital on Monday August 27,2012,apologizing and asked that all bills be forwarded to them.
Unfortunately and sadly Mr Alliyu did not come out of coma as he gave up the ghost on Wednesday 29th August 2012 leaving behind a wife and three young sons…Its been a year but the pain og going on without a breadwinner lingers…..The boys miss Daddy!
Since the young man died,his lawyers have made series of efforts to contact British American Tobacco for compensation to the deceased family.
British American Tobacco demanded for series of documents which were provided,but alas they have just notified deceased son and three sons via the lawyers that” the company only helped the victim with the hospital bill and since he is dead,they have no obligation to make any compensation”-WTF!.
What sort of wickedness is this?Mr Alliyu left behind a family with three young sons aged 10years,9years and 4years old. …who will take care of them?who will pay their school fees?feed them…
Their Father Mr Alliyu was their sole provider and they have no one else to help.
Please help spread this on so that at least that company will pay the deceased family compensation,they cannot bring him back and their delay in seeking medical attention for him after the bus had hit him led to his death. The deceased children are 10years,9years and 4years old.
Please lend your voice,this company needs to wake up to what they have done!
God is not sleeping!
