A web developer has used X to speak directly to a hit-and-run driver who struck his wife and drove away without offering help. According to the husband, the collision took place on the Ogudu express in Lagos State. He said a Good Samaritan stopped to assist the woman, who is now in hospital fighting for her life. In his post, the husband told the driver that he has forgiven them. He wrote that if the person responsible for the hit-and-run at Ogudu express in Lagos the previous evening was the one who hit his wife, he wants them to know: 'I FORGIVE YOU,' and that he truly does. He described the phone call and the news as heartbreaking and said it made him cry, but he repeated, 'I FORGIVE YOU.' He also thanked the man who helped keep her conscious and provided first aid until an ambulance arrived. The husband added that the man remained there and assisted until midnight, just minutes before he posted, and said, 'I'm so grateful.'
