Yesterday, a traffic warden, Sunday Charles, engaged in fisticuff
with a motorist, identified only as Kingsley, who refused to part with
N50 after he was stopped at the Omole bus stop, Oba Ogunnusi Road, Ojodu
area of
Lagos State, by a team of traffic wardens.
The trouble reportedly started when Kingsley claimed that he had
earlier given Charles, N50, adding that he would not give him another
until evening. According to many eyewitnesses, Charles, who insisted on
collecting the money, dragged Kingsley down from the vehicle and punched
him in the face, prompting 3 teeth to fall off.
It was gathered that Kingsley held the warden and dragged him into
the bus while demanding medical treatment. He also wanted to report the
case at the Ojodu Police Station but people advised him against it as
Charles’ uniform was torn and they suspected that the matter could be
turned against Kingsley.
While speaking about the incident, Lagos State Police PRO, Dolapo
Badmos, said: “The traffic warden was beaten by a commercial bus driver
and his conductor who are still at large. His service uniform was torn
to pieces. He was rescued by a team of policemen deployed in the scene.
The case will be dealt with decisively.”
