Some suspected herdsmen lynched a 30-year-old commercial bus conductor after their vehicle rammed into their cows killing two cows in Age-Mowo Area of Badagry in Lagos State.
Track News Nigeria learnt that ungodly act was committed at around 6:30a.m between in Age-Mowo and Agogo-Igbala in Badagry.
An eyewitness told us that the driver of a J Five commercial bus with registration number FKJ 756 XH was coming with speed from Mile 2 while the two cows suddenly crossed the expressway.
A bus driver Olaunji who spoke to Mohammed Oluwatimileyin Taoheed, our Correspondent, added that the bus driver was coming from mile 2 when all of a sudden two cows rammed into the vehicle which was in motion. As soon as the accident happened, their headers at Agbo-Malu began to chase the bus.
Fortunately, the driver tried to avert unhurt while the bus conductor who was still on the bus tried to escape but he could not run much when he was caught by the headers.
They removed his clothes and beat him till he became unconscious. When he became unconscious they left him unconscious thinking he was dead. The headers pounced on him again when he rose, moving toward Mowo Police station to seek refuge for the fear of being killed.
Track News Nigeria gathered that when the headers noticed that the conductor was going to the station, they ran after him, and caught up with him at about five meters to Mowo Police station where they eventually lynched him.
When reached, Col. M. A. Abba, the commanding officer, pleaded with the youths and members of the communities and assured them justice would be done over the killing.
He directed that the corpse of the conductor be taken and deposited in General Hospital in Badagry for further investigation on the matter.
