A commercial bus conductor in Lagos is alleged to have stabbed a Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) officer during a routine traffic enforcement operation. Multiple outlets report the incident occurs at Ile-Epo Market, in the Abule-Egba area, along the Lagos–Abeokuta Expressway, when LASTMA patrol officers stop and attempt to enforce compliance against a bus accused of causing an obstruction or related traffic offence. Vanguard and Daily Post state the conductor allegedly resisted the arrest and stabbed the officer with a screwdriver. Premium Times and Punch similarly describe the stabbing and note the conductor is apprehended by LASTMA operatives. Vanguard reports the conductor is arrested and identified as Lekan Olasunkanmi. Punch and Vanguard also state the suspect faces prosecution following the arrest. Premium Times adds context that the attack comes months after a prior incident involving another LASTMA officer who was allegedly stabbed with a broken bottle by a commercial bus driver. The reports present the episode as part of continuing tensions during traffic enforcement operations, with authorities taking custody of the suspect pending legal action.
