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.
RIP danfo driver but why fight with soldier ?

DeleteToo bad! Man's in-human treatment against man. God have mercy.
ReplyDeleteCKN 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.
ReplyDeleteY z danpo driver fought wit soldiar?
DeleteWas 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.
ReplyDeleteWonder 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.
ReplyDeleteboth of them are at fault , but this drivers don't eat well. they only drink shekpe at night , smoke indian hemp in d morning and take ewa at noon, with that he want's to fight a trained soldier. U want to scatter ur head. Simply tell him to carry his wahala and go.
