Female soldier beat bus conductor to coma over change

A bus conductor got more than he bargained for when a female soldier gave him the beating of his life yesterday at Iyana Isashi, along Lagos- Badagry expressway in Lagos State.

The soldier, who was in mufti was said to have boarded the mini- bus at Mile 2 and was going to Agbara area of Ogun State before the incident occurred.

Trouble started when the soldier who allegedly gave the conductor N500 demanded for her change but the conductor insisted that he had already given her the change.

Although some passengers in the vehicle asserted that the conductor did not give her any change, and prevailed upon him to do so. But he remained adamant.

Speaking to LEADERSHIP Weekend, one of the passengers who witnessed the spectacle said the woman identified herself as a soldier but the conductor did not care. According to him, the angry woman then ordered the driver to pull over and real trouble started when the driver obeyed.

Obi said the woman grabbed the conductor by his collar and the conductor, as they would in their usual manner, threatened to beat her. But unknowingly, he had just courted his year’s biggest trouble as the woman suddenly dragged him off the bus and started to beat him black and blue.
