Passenger, conductor died over N100


A bus conductor-passenger misunderstanding went awry in Lagos on Tuesday morning, leading to the death of the two people.

According to eyewitnesses at the Five Star Bus Stop near Aswani Market, Isolo, where the incident occurred, said the passenger was stabbed by the conductor over a disagreement on N100 balance.

According to eyewitnesses, the bus was heading to Aswani market area; the passenger opted to alight at the junction before the market and demanded his N100 change.

The Guardian gathered that the conductor refused to hand over the change and allegedly threatened the passenger.

As the argument got heated, the conductor took a knife from the wares of a Hausa man selling hardware by the roadside and stabbed the passenger, who died immediately.

Passer-bys immediately attacked the conductor in return and set him ablaze. They also burnt the vehicle.

The driver of the bus flew the scene.

Trouble doubled along the road after the same passenger-sympathizers took possession of the left side of the road to wreak more havoc on commercial buses.

The Guardian gathered that three other danfo vehicles were destroyed in retaliation of the passenger’s death.

The death of the two set the environment unsettled the area as traders, motorists and pedestrians scampered for their lives and commercial activities halted temporarily.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate.

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency.
