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....
Egunje spoil Lagos...
