UK court sentences Nigerian man to 13 months for dangerous driving

A Nigerian man, Michael Chiedu Nwanze, 23, has been jailed for 13 months in the United Kingdom after leading police on a high-speed chase through Northampton.

According to Punch Newspapers, Northampton Crown Court heard he fled after officers tried to stop his uninsured vehicle on March 10, reaching speeds of over 100mph before crashing near the Wilby Way roundabout.

He pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, driving without insurance and failing to stop for police. Investigating officer PC Thomas Williams described his conduct as reckless, warning that such offences would not be tolerated.
