According to The Nation, the accident occurred around 9.45 am in front of a bakery.
The bus driver, identified as Friday, was arguing with his conductor when he lost control of the vehicle.
Edet Umoh, a passenger said the conductor pleaded with the driver to pay him for job done, but the driver allegedly refused.
He said: “The conductor held the driver from behind to disrupt him. The driver, who was angered by his actions, punched the conductor which resulted into an accident. I am so happy none of us was injured. Passengers warned them but they didn’t listen. It was after the accident that they kept quiet.”
The owner of the Nissan car said: “I just drove out of my compound and before I could think of anything, they crashed my car. I thank God I am still alive because I promised my family we were going to see later. It is still a shock. I can’t even recognise my car from the front view.”
An eye witness, identified as Rashidat, said that the conductor was requesting for N2,000 from the driver, adding that the bus driver risked the lives of the passengers. The eye witness said: “What if the man’s car wasn’t affected, it could have hit a passerby. See how the bus just went to one side of the road, I was shocked and scared.”
Meanwhile, a 40-year-old bus driver, identified as Moshood Ekunsumi, has been arrested for murdering a police inspector, Stephen Nzerem, on the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway.
The suspect’s conductor has also been declared wanted by the Nigerian Police Force in connection with the death.
