THIS is an incident that shouldn’t have happened, a tale that mustn’t be told, and a situation that a moral mind cannot fathom, yet, it was allegedly perpetuated by one Chibuike Maduka, 17, at Ndibe in Afikpo North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.

While hawkers were at one end of the road, street traders occupied the other end. To compound the problem, mini-bus (danfo) drivers busied themselves with picking and dropping passengers in unauthorised places.

Exactly 100 days after Lagos state government commenced the re-accreditation of passenger buses and 42 days into the new year, owners, drivers and conductors across the state, have continued to ignore government’s directive on the exercise.

Despite its ban from the major roads over eight months ago in Lagos state, tri-cycles popularly called Keke NAPEP, is becoming a major means of transportation in the state despite major challenges the operators are facing.

WHAT began as a mutual transaction between unsuspecting tenants and two sweet talking ‘property developers’ in Lagos, has ended in a monumental fraud which is currently being investigated by the police.
