In what appears to be a scuffle, a bus driver has been arrested for throwing faeces at LASTMA officials in Lagos.
This came when the bus driver tried to prevent the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority from seizing his vehicle.
The LASTMA spokesperson, 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 offence as he threatened to deal with the men.
He said, “What I will do to you, you will see it.”
Afterwards, 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.
The LASTMA’s spokesperson, Filade, said the vehicle was impounded on July 4, 2022.
“The driver has been arraigned at a magistrate’s court, where he was asked to be remanded at the Potoki Custodial Centre until August when his case would come up again.
“This only goes to show that the law will not spare any violator, however unruly you are. All LASTMA is advocating is voluntary compliance,” he added.
