A tweet has been circulating on social media showing a conflict between a Lagos state staff bus and a law-abiding citizen, identified as Ayodeji of Remo kingdom, who blocked the bus for violating traffic rules.
According to Ayodeji of Remo Kingdom, the bus had decided to pass one way on a two-way road in Lagos state, causing traffic congestion.
What followed was a surprising turn of events as Lastma officers arrived at the scene to plead with Ayodeji to let the bus go. The officers reportedly left the scene after failing to convince Ayodeji, leaving the staff members to come out and beg for their release.
