Sister of late doctor killed in accident caused by Ibinabo Fiberesima writes, says Justice at last!
Biola Giwa-Adeyemi is
late Dr Giwa's sister and she wanted to shed more light on the case between
Ibinabo Fiberersima Vs Lagos State. Read what she sent in below...
First of all, the case
was between Lagos state Government Vs Ibinabo Febresima but not Giwa Vs Ibinabo
Febresima. On this faithful day of Feb 26th 2006 along the Lekki Epe Express
way, my late brother Dr Giwa was driving with his brother and another family
friend in his car coming from a meeting in Ajah, they were held up in a traffic
around the evening time, when this tragic accident happened.
Ibinabo was driving towards Lekki while the late Dr Giwa was coming from
the other direction facing towards Island, just by shop-rite, when ibinabo's
jeep flipped and lost control from her lane jumped over the culvert or pavement
that demarcate the road from the on coming vehicle. The speed that
skipped and flipped a jeep over the road demarcation will be considered
"Reckless and Endangerment" because the VIO dept checked the jeep
brakes, the engine and all the mechanical and electrical of the jeep but the
result shows nothing wrong with the jeep and confirm that the accident as due
to "OVER SPEEDING" in which the result was on record.
After the accident, Ibinabo left the scene of the accident without
checking for any survivors, she took the license plate and registration out of
the car and fled from the scene, that was considered "HIT AND RUN". The
people at the scene of the accident recognized her as Ibinabo Febresima, and
stated she was drunk."Driving Under Influence" of whatever she had.
The State Department of Transportation has to use the VIN number to locate the
Owner of the jeep, in which the owner was Daniel Wilson. That was my very first
time of hearing the name of Ibinabo Febresima.The Doctor died at the scene of
the accident because the jeep was on top of the Honda accord driven by him and
they couldn't save him on time because of the seat belt and the weight of the
jeep, the brother and the other family friend in that car had survived. Did she
know the state of mind and the emotional instability of the people
involved in that
accident up till now, Ibinabo has never been in a Comma.
After all the evidences against her, with the result of the VIO by the State
department of Transportation, The DPP office took over and charged her to court
and she hired Festus Kiamo in which after reviewing the case he withdrew by
saying he cannot represent her because it's a bad case.
Doctor Giwa has a living mother for goodness sake, wife with 3
children's, Ibinabo deprived him from seeing his children graduate from
university and getting married, also from being the one to bury his mother at
her old age, "Whereas no one ever prayed that on the day of their
children's success and happiness they should replaced them with someone
else".
Ibinabo was never remorseful, they brought her to meet with me shortly after my
brother's death in GRA Ikeja before my return back to the USA, but her only
concern then was to drop the charges against her. I told her that it's not my
family Vs her but the State Vs her, that where I come from in USA that we do
not interfere with the justice system, that they should do their job and advise
her to apologize publicly to the masses and to the family and throw herself to
the mercy of the court. She said and l quote "I CAN'T DO THAT, BECAUSE IS
GOING TO DAMAGE MY CAREER" what an ego, she cannot apologize publicly, I
feel like kicking her ass. She's worried about her stupid career, What happened
to the career of the Doctor, who happened to be a 'MEDICAL DIRECTOR AND THE
HEAD OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL REHABILITATION MEDICINE AT GENERAL HOSPITAL
LAGOS.
People say there is no justice in Nigeria, but it does once in awhile. The
lower court magistrate O.A Isaac found her guilty with the option of 100,000.00
Naira, which is considered a judicial recklessness, 100k does not even buy an
iPad, the life of someone does not worth more that 100k, so that people will
take the liberty of committing crimes. Later Justice Deborah Oluwayemi of
the High court find her guilty and overturn the option of fine and gave her 5
yrs in prison, she spent 3 weeks and came out on bail to go to Court of Appeal,
however, how can a convicted person came out on bail, here in USA you will be
in jail and they will transport you to and from each time you have an hearing.
Finally Appeal court found her guilty and sentence her to 5 years imprisoned.
Let her face the wrath, it is said that you can run but can't hide, it's a law
of Kama that catch up, This will serve as a deterrent to others. Who will
believe after 10yrs she will still be slammed, The Family of the late Dr Giwa
had moved on with our life's, She was forgiven, it was very difficult and
painful, but God gave us especially his mother and children the fortitude to
bear the loss.
On behalf of our families and friends, we really thank the
Lagos State Government, The attorney general Mr Sasore, DPP Mrs Odutola and
colleagues, Justice Deborah Oluwayemi, Justice Jamilu Yammama Tukur, Justice
U.I Udukwe-Anyawu and Justice Tijani Abubakar and everyone for their support,
no evil shall befall anyone, as you all go out and come in, may God's grace and
protection abide with each and everyone.
'JUSTICE AT LAST'
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUSTICE AT LAST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUSTICE IS
FINALLY DONE !!!!!!!!!!!!.
"IBINABO HAS NEVER PAID A DIME TO ANY FAMILY MEMBER OF THE LATE DR GIWA AS
INDICATED BY HER FRIEND'S, AND IF SHE DID PAY ANY FAMILY MEMBER, SHE NEEDS TO
START MENTIONING NAMES NOW".
