Soldier Kills Driver In Lagos Over Transport fare


For insisting that a soldier who boarded his vehicle must pay his fare, a commuter bus (danfo) driver has paid with his life today
The unidentified danfo driver with vehicle number LSD 451 XG parked at Obalende Bus Stop, near the BRT bus park, was said to have refused to move his vehicle from the park when the soldier who was in a mufti refused to pay any fare.
 An argument was said to have ensued between them during which the soldier, said to be from Dodan Barracks in Ikoyi, strangled the driver.
The soldier, it was learnt, attempted to run after the deadly duel but commuters and passersby who witnessed the scene arrested him and told him to carry the corpse to the hospital.

Sensing that the soldier was about to be mobbed, a policeman at the scene phoned his colleagues at the Kam Selem Police Divisional Headquarters, Moloney Street and four police patrol vehicles with policemen arrived the scene.
A detachment of armed soldiers from nearby Dodan Barracks also arrived the scene to prevent the culprit from being killed by the mob.
The soldiers took away their colleague and the corpse to their barracks after dispersing hundreds of people baying for the soldier’s blood.
Attempts by P.M.NEWS to ascertain the identities of the soldier and the Danfo driver proved abortive as at the time of filing this report.

  3. CKN can you go there to give us details? No way. End of story. If it is Jonathan now, you will say whatever you want. Ask us to describe the soldier or the driver in one word. Poser.

  4. Was there any reason whatsoever why the soldier would board the bus for free? The bus is not a government property and there is where it is written that a soldier is immunized from paying a transport fare.

  5. Wonder shall never cease. Some people have lost their conscience. The soldier should be charged to to court immediately and pass judgement. He's not fit to live. He that killed by the sword shall also die by the sword. Devil's invarnate.
