They (LASTMA officials) were then said to have tried confiscating his bus keys from him, but he (the late danfo driver) refused. This, according to the eyewitness account, resulted in the traffic officials allegedly beating him up.

"They (LASTMA officials and some police with them) started beating him when he refused to hand over his keys to them. They beat him with sticks, guns (some policemen attached to the transport officials) and everything readily available at their disposal.

"That is how they treat us everyday. They do harass us with the aim of taking money from us. We (danfo drivers) don't need them again. Fashola should get them off the roads.
