here was pandemonium in the early hours of this morning,
January 8, at Ajayi farm bus stop before Ikeja Along, Lagos state, when a
bus conductor plucked a passenger’s tooth over N50 change
The trouble started after the passenger identified as Kunle paid his
transport fare but the bus conductor deliberately hoarded his change for
several minutes.
The passenger who boarded the bus from under bridge at Iyana-Dopemu
bus stop to the aforementioned bus stop was supposed to pay N50, he gave
the bus conductor N100 and requested for his change but the conductor
told him he has no change that his fare is N100.fter few minutes to his bus stop, the passenger stared pressing
harder for his change but the conductor kept telling he has no change to
give to him and completely ignored the young man. When the young man
got to his bus stop, he alighted and asked for his change again, but the
conductor jumped into the bus as the driver attempted to move, the
young man quickly grabbed him and pulled him out of the bus.
The bus conductor in retaliation held his shirt and they started
calling each other names and dragging themselves around. The dragging
later got intense and the bus conductor while trying to escape the grip
of the passenger, he hit the young man on his chest. They started
fighting, and some of the passengers came down from the bus to
intervene, they held the young man and told him to be clam while the
conductor was still yelling and insulting him.
Unfortunately for Kunle who had already listened to fellow passenger
and calmed down, decided to turned back to pick his wristwatch that
snapped during the brawl, the bus conductor came from behind and blew
him on his mouth, and one of his teeth fell off, and they stared
fighting again.
The other passengers started yelling on the driver to give them part
of their money since they have not gotten to their destination while
those that were close already, started walking to the next bus stop to
board another bus and continue their journey
As at press time, the young man and the middle aged conductor were
still digging it out with their clothes turned into threads. The police
patrol team that usually chase commercial motorcyclists were not around
during the brawl.
