No fewer than seven persons have been arrested in connection with the death of an official of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, Godwin Obasu, who, alongside his colleague, Hakeem Adeniyi, was reportedly attacked by commercial drivers in the Bariga area of the state.

Adeniyi, who sustained injuries during the incident, was said to be battling for his life at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja.

PUNCH Metro gathered that the two LASTMA officials apprehended a commercial bus for contravening the traffic law of the state.

The bus driver was said to have mobilised his colleagues, who attacked Obasu and Adeniyi with different weapons, including machetes.

The Assistant Director, Public Affairs, LASTMA, Filade Olumide, in a statement on Thursday, said the General Manager of the agency, Mr Olajide Oduyoye, condemned the killing of Obasu, adding that Adeniyi was still in a coma.

Adeniyi, who was also attacked in a similar fashion, has been hospitalised and in a coma.

“While noting that some senior officers, who were also in mufti and around the area were lucky to escape the mob attack, the general manager warned all cultists doubling as commercial bus drivers that any traffic violation or infraction shall be punished or penalised as enacted by the Lagos State House of Assembly.”

The statement said seven suspects had been arrested and handed over to the police, while the bus driver and others were still at large.

ayenale1:
If you ask me who killed him; it's his boss in the office who is expecting a daily return...

For doing his job by apprehending someone who is contravening the traffic law, so he won't end up killing civilians like you and us on the road?

The way some of you just type rubbish online without thinking is so appaling.
Do you think before you type sometimes please?
If not, please, start TODAY.
Rather late than NEVER!

adeskee:

Who told you his boss are expecting daily return?
You had no knowledge of their workings but yet spew thrash in the name of likes

I don't blame you,I blame those fools as you who liked that shit you put up there.

If you have nothing meaningful to say,just type RIP.

Thanks for the reply to that kid.
We were only trying to be nice in our earlier reply to him.
Some Very annoying comments you read here sometimes.

The challenge of living in Lagos is so overwhelming that it has left most Lagosians mad. Funnily enough, most of the mad Lagosians don't even know they are mad.

If you live on the mainland and always take the yellow buses, you are mad but you don't even know. This madness is circumstance-induced madness; it's not deliberate - thanks to the yellow-bus conductors and drivers like the one who murdered the Lastma official.

If you ask me who killed him; it's his boss in the office who is expecting a daily return...

Rip sir ... it's quite unfortunate the nature of your death, sometimes we are the problem of this country .. this man and colleague were probably attacked for enforcing the law.. when you come to Lagos, you hear people complain of the ruthlessness of Lastma, kai and others .. especially motorist , but on detail investigation you see this guys are just doing there job.. U go see danfo pack for express come dey cause traffic, traffic light don turn fancy bulb , no body send .. worse na those dispatch riders very anyhow people .. LASTMA WICKED NA SAY DEM NOR DEY COLLECT BRIBE ANYHOW LIKE OLOKPA.

All these LASTMA guys they over do sometimes, why not back off.......

RIP to the dead
Quick recovery to the one on COMA..........

#SimpleSturvs

Lastma own sef don too much for lag.Everybody dey para for this regime due to the hardship being experienced.If them like make them continue their harassment,na more of such stories we go continue to dey hear.

godwin obasu, an igbo name but why did they spare d yoba officer n killed d igbo man

When is this country going to do things right? Must everything be gra gra in this country? E be like life doesn't matters here anymore...

This officials do pass themselves most of the times..why not get a camera with intelligence and capture the vehicle/plate number plus image of defaulters, run it through national or state database and place fine on the defaulter, you can apprehend him when he comes for vehicle renewal or look for other means to impound the vehicle.

How does this correspond to the news now.

Evil everywhere.. Help us Oh Lord.

How can you an official be fighting with someone for penchant on cheap intoxicats, hungry, angry and frustrated.


You don't fight with people who have no value for their life or any life in general.


That's why I pity pregnant women always fighting with bus drivers or conductors and locking their shirts on their necks.one punch and you're dead.at least if you don't pity yourself, pity the unborn child


The ₦50 change he refused to give you Will not kill you


There are some people that are bags of trouble.once you see them just avoid them as much as possible

Avoid these jobs during this season if you want to live long.

On the field nepa job

On the field custom jobs especially in the north.
