AN EIGHT-YEAR-OLD schoolboy has been awarded €3,500 after a man threatened to blow up his mother as they waited in a petrol station.
Funmilayo Ejigboye, 43, was with her two sons at a Tesco filling station in Finglas, Dublin in August 2009 when the driver of another car threatened her, a court heard yesterday. Ms Ejiboye’s lawyer said: “He tapped her driver’s window with the nozzle of the petrol pump and, holding his finger over a lighter, told her: “Move the fucking car or I’ll fucking light you and this place up.”
The man then drove his car twice into the back of Ms Ejigboye’s vehicle and Paul Ejigboye suffered minor whiplash injuries, the Circuit Civil Court heard. The man has not been traced but Judge Matthew Deery awarded damages from the Motor Insurers’ Bureau of Ireland.

The cops must know who this scumbag is. Whether they’d bother or be able to do anything about it is another question. He’s probably one of these individuals with scores of convictions yet still able to swagger around the streets.
Robbed plates planning a drive off… Never be able to I.D the car!!
If he’s been traced then why the fuck are the motor insurance bureau paying for it? It’s stuff like this that forces everyone else’s premiums up.
Edit – oops. Hes NOT been traced. Even still why hasn’t he? Surely the station has cameras that recorded the car reg.
I wonder why he was so angry with Ms Ejigboye that he threatened her and all her children ??
have your say
