In a bid to avoid his vehicle from being impounded, a transporter adopted a tactic that is fast becoming an option amongst Lagos drivers...
A dramatic event took place today, 30th of June, 2015, around Muson Centre/TBS in Lagos. A bus driver was flagged down by officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Agency (LASTMA)
The driver was found guilty of an offence by the standing officials of LASTMA and the Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIO) which attracted impounding his vehicle.
This came like the worst news in the world to the driver as he subsequently begged profusely. As all pleading efforts failed, he ran under his vehicle and told them to run over him before taking it away. This caused a massive scene at the Muson centre area of Lagos.
According to an eyewitness, an helicopter had to be deployed to carry the Vehicle to the LASTMA office.
