Family rejects N100k offer after policeman kills woman in crash.
The family of a 35-year-old woman, Patience Ashenenye, who passed away in an accident caused by a policeman, reportedly received the sum of N100,000 as compensation.
The accident, which occurred behind Ta’al Conference Hotel near the School of Health in Nasarawa State, also left Ashenenye’s three-month-old son hospitalized with a broken leg.
It was gathered that the mother and son were in a motorcycle when the officer, who was speeding in a government-owned Hilux vehicle, rammed into them.
The motorcycle rider, Tasiu Mohammed, also got injured, while Ashenenye di3d shortly after arriving at the Federal University of Lafia Teaching Hospital. Two days later, the family reported that two Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) visited them to offer N100,000 for Ashenenye’s burial expenses.
Her family, however, rejected the sum, stating they were only interested in justice for her untimely death.
