For How Long Will Commuters Continue Being A Pawn To Cold-Hearted Hikes In Transportation!

It's no longer news that transporter take advantage of the high logistics demand especially during festive seasons like the Yuletide, to hike transport fares.

The video below was taken at the CMS garage bus-stop, where a transport company abruptly increased it's fares to 500 naira.

As at Monday, 23rd December, 2019, commuters were forced to pay a whooping 500 naira from the CMS bus-stop (Lagos-Island) to Ajah (Lekki Peninsula axis). This trend has become a norm, due to the fact that the transport sector is not regulated. Commercial vehicle owners can get up one morning and increase fares without due consultation(s) and nobody blinks. 

For how long will this situation continue?

According to eye witnesses, who happened to be occupants of the vehicle, the fire suddenly started, prompting them to abandon their personal belongings, while fleeing. This situation, caused a little traffic along the busy high-way, as some of the other road users made quick turns into the alternative route.

The driver of the vehicle and his assistant were seen wailing uncontrollably, as they watched helplessly while the vehicle and the goods burn.

By the time Men of the Fire -Service arrived, the vehicle and everything in it was completely razed.

There was no reported casualties.

Describing the attack as "national embarrassment", CYND's National Coordinator, Commander Chikaru Oronda Ndamati, while briefing News men in Port-Harcourt, Rivers state capital city, cautioned the IPOB against unleashing their anger on the Transport Minister, or other national leaders over personal grievances.
