An unidentified military man, Monday
morning beat a bus conductor (names
unknown) to death at Obalende in Lagos.
A report monitored on Metro FM by DailyPost,
says the man who was dressed in a Nigeria
Army uniform, pounced on the deceased
following a heated argument over transport
fare.
Eyewitnesses say the man had accompanied
his wife to the park at Obalende to get a bus
to her destination. Within a moment, the late
conductor and the woman, exchanged hot
words over transport fare.
“That made the unformed man to react. He
lost his temper and kept beating the guy,
until he died,” one account said.
He was said to have
dragged the
deceased, raining
blows on his head,
stomach and chest.
On noticing he had
given up the ghost,
the officer pulled off
his uniform and ran
towards some
uniformed men who
were around the
scene in a vehicle.
They reportedly
sped off, leaving
the lifeless body at
the park.
The incident, which
caused
pandemonium,
almost escalated
into a protest by
other transporters but for the intervention of
a team of anti-riot police that quickly arrived
the area to calm the situation.
DailyPost gathered that the driver of the bus,
alongside sympathizers, drove his late
colleague to Dodan Barracks to report the
matter.
