Another eyewitness who gave his name as Miller, said the lawlessness attitude that have gone unpunished had given room for the unfortunate incident.”What do you expect in a country where people commit crimes and are left to go scot-free? If you carelessly kill somebody and you were jailed, next time you will be conscious of the way you drive,” he added.
