Nigerian man jailed 13 months in UK after dangerous driving
A 23-year-old Nigerian man, Michael Chiedu Nwanze, has been sentenced to 13 months in prison in the UK after leading police on a high-speed chase through Northampton.
Nwanze was arrested on March 10 after officers attempted to stop him over an uninsured vehicle, but he reportedly sped off and reached speeds of over 100mph while ignoring traffic lights and putting other road users at risk.
His escape came to an end when he crashed into several vehicles near the Wilby Way roundabout after getting trapped in heavy traffic.
He later pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, driving without insurance, driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence and failing to stop for police.
He was sentenced at Northampton Crown Court in June.
