This sad event happened at Obalende in Lagos yesterday, The Danfo driver whose corpse you see in the photo above was allegedly strangled by a soldier man on mufti who he carried as a passenger.
Eyewitness account was that on getting to the Obalende Bus Stop, near the BRT bus park, the soldier refused to pay his transport fare when the driver requested it, thus the angered driver refused to move his vehicle from the park onward to their destination until the soldier man paid up
An argument ensued between them during which the soldier, who is suspected to be from Dodan Barracks in Ikoyi, strangled the driver.
After committing the crime, he attempted to run, but commuters and passersby who witnessed the scene caught him and were set to lynch him. However, if not for the timely intervention of the police, the soldier might have been killed.
The corpse of the deceased has since been deposited in the mortuary. May his soul RIP, Amen.
