A video of a bus conductor caught hiding in an attempt to evade payment to ‘agberos‘, who collect passengers and road taxes in Oshodi goes viral online.
To evade the agberos when they arrived in Oshodi, the bus conductor was seen in the video taken by passenger @JollyPapito hiding in the bus trunk and peeping through the window.
The passenger wrote,
“Once Conductors reach Oshodi bridge, they close up the bus door and hide so agberos won’t come running to the vehicle for settlement. About 10 agberos can run to a bus to collect money and it’s a loss”
According to @JollyPapito’s response to comments, conductors shut the bus doors and hide in the vehicle at Oshodi Bridge to evade extortion, as up to 10 agberos may descend on a single bus demanding money.
Many viewers shared similar experiences on how bus conductors in Lagos dodge agberos daily in the comment section.
