There was pandemonium in the early hours of
this morning, 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.
It is quite surprising, because this similar act
landed this Nigerian music star lands in police
office .
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.
After 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.
