An unidentified soldier, yesterday morning
allegedly beat a bus conductor (names
unknown) to death at Obalende in Lagos, for
insisting that the soldier who boarded his
vehicle must pay his fare.
According to reports, the unidentified danfo
driver with vehicle number LSD 451 XG was
pounced on by the soldier who was in a mufti
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
soldier, it was learnt, attempted to run but
commuters and passersby who witnessed the
beating 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 asking for the soldier’s
blood.
