For insisting that a soldier who boarded his vehicle must pay his fare, a commuter bus (danfo) driver has paid with his life.
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.- The danfo driver after he was killed by a soldier at Obalende this morning
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 to ascertain the identities of the soldier and the Danfo driver proved abortive..

Cool reply..Typical of ladies anyway..
But i expected some sympathy..

Such a funny thread.
So the driver was strangled?
SMH, RIP.
Meanwhile while he was being strangled none of the passengers could stop the on-going killing?
Damn! Cowards shah!


That's by the way, I have always thought the police are in charge of maintaining peace and order in the society?
Then, how the heck did they allow the soldiers from Dodan Barracks to take their fellow and the diseased along with them?
Foolish police men, foolish passengers, stupid soldier.

the soldier must be sick.

why didn't he go to fight boko haram people?

why won't he pay bus fare?

the Ogas of police and military should tell all of them to always pay bus fare!

this mad soldier should be sentenced to death.

@Vessi.. The aggressiveness of police as a matter of importance is increasing with time..
Just somedays back, some sets of innocent youths were arrested for no reason in my location..
The question is why are these incidents occuring?
They are getting more worse than thieves if i'm not goofing around..
Silly passengers, pedestrians, driver and soldier..Like you Posted.

Activa: the soldier must be sick.

Believe me you, that soldier won't be penalized..He'll be freed hence, his acts may continue..
Compare this with mere stealing of Worthless things as pepper where the thieves are sometimes lynched..
This is more worse than those situations..

too bad
