Uniformed man Infringes On Civilian Right In A Commercial Bus!
The scene in the pictures below happened opposite the Yoruba Tennis Club, Onikan, Lagos - Nigeria. The young man putting on sun-shade was already seated at the window side, front seat, of a Yaba bound bus when a uniformed man got there and asked him to move to a plastic makeshift seat attached in-between the driver's seat and the window seat, which is not comfortable by any means.
The uniformed man was asked to sit on the inner (plastic) chair instead, or else where in the bus, since there weren't much passengers at the time, he (uniformed) insisted the (civilian) man should move instead.
A small crowd gathered, as the civilian man politely refused to move in. Passengers in the now filled vehicle, and drivers from other commercial buses (waiting for their turn to load), tried to make the uniformed man see reason, and to understand that since he met the man already seated, ordering him to "move in, so you can seat" was as a matter of fact infringing on someone else's right.
When all "good" reasoning fell on deaf ears, and since the uniformed man insisted that he must seat on that particular seat, in solidarity, the other passengers in the bus simply alighted together with the young man, and boarded the next bus in line.
