“The driver, seeing he had killed the man, ran into the bush. An irate mob, however, burnt the bus.”
Police spokesman Sunday Abutu said: “I can confirm that a mini bus crushed a pedestrian. The man was confirmed dead and his remains had been taken to the morgue. The driver of the bus is still at large”
Abutu, however, said investigation has begun to unravel the cause of the accident.
