DEADLY PUNCH: Bus Conductor Removes Driver’s Teeth

A mini-bus driver got what he did not bargain for when he fought his conductor in Mushin area of Lagos State. The quarrel which degenerated into a fight around 7am began when the driver identified as Mufutau challenged his conductor, Adegoke over missing money. Adegoke was said to have sworn that he did not hide any money but Mufutau insisted that he hid up to N500. Mufutau allegedly collected the remaining money from the conductor, telling him not to work with him again. LEADERSHIP investigation revealed that when the conductor demanded for his pay off for the day, the driver told him to use the over N500 he stole from him as his remuneration. Angered by the driver’s comment, the conductor told him that he (driver) would not work until he pays him his money. Eye-witness said the driver suddenly alighted from the vehicle and slapped the conductor. The eye-witness simply identified as Kunle, disclosed that the conductor threw caution to the wind and rained punches on the driver. After they were separated by some members of the public, the driver found out that four of his teeth were missing while another two were shaking.
