Egunje spoil Lagos...

As early as 6.15am that lovely morning a police officer was already harassing an helpless public bus driver.  To think it was a Monday morning when everyone was trying to start a new week on a clean plate without hassles.

While I moved close to the bus stop, I over heard the conversation that ensued between the officer and the bus driver.

Police Officer:  Make I see your vehicle particulars?
Bus Driver:  Na im be this.
Police Officer:  (After what seem to the bus driver like ages) Ok, why your bus no come get fire extinguisher?
Bus Driver: (now looking worried)  Officer, the thing finish not too long ago and I never buy another one.
Police Officer:  Then we must go to the station and report this case. (jumping into the front seat of the bus)

In a twinkle of an eye, the Police Officer was in the bus.  The driver who did not have much of a choice had to follow her to the drivers side.  What happened thereafter marveled me as they were both in the bus for few minutes speaking in low tones.  All of a sudden...the officer said, make sure you don't do that again after which there was a "very warm handshake" with the bus driver.

She alighted and walked happily to pick on the next helpless victim....
