The vehicle is now dangerously cramped, with four passengers squeezed per seat instead of three, and heavily laden with additional cargo.
Tensions escalated when passengers protested the unsafe conditions. The driver reportedly responded by insulting everyone on board and going as far as slapping three passengers, daring them to “go and report to the President if they liked.”
Terrified commuters say they feel unsafe and are begging Benue Links management and relevant authorities to intervene before a tragedy occurs. The incident has sparked outrage, with passengers calling for immediate action to address the driver’s behavior and ensure their safety.
