An unidentified bus driver has been prosecuted for stripping himself naked and smearing officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority with feces to prevent the seizure of his vehicle.
A spokesperson for LASTMA, Olumide Filade, said the suspect was arrested on July 4 and arraigned before a magistrate’s court.
He noted that the driver was remanded till August 2022.
Filani stated this in reaction to a video of the driver which went viral on Wednesday.
Our correspondent, who watched the video, observed that the driver, who spoke in Yoruba, demanded his offense as he threatened to deal with the men.
He said, “What I will do to you, you will see it.”
Afterward, he removed his clothes and briefs, exposing his private parts.
He subsequently squatted to excrete on his hand, which he put on the face of one of the officials.
Later, he dragged down and hit one of the officials who took over the driver’s seat.
The video generated mixed reactions from social media users.
The General Manager of LASTMA, Bolaji Oreagba, stated that the incident happened in March 2022 in the Maryland area of the state.
