Filani stated this in reaction to a video of the driver which went viral on Wednesday.

It was observed that the driver, who spoke in Yoruba, demanded his offence as he threatened to deal with the men.

He said, “What I will do to you, you will see it.”

Afterwards, he removed his clothes and briefs, exposing his private parts.

He subsequently squatted to excrete on his hand, which he put on the face of one of the LASTMA officials.

Later, he dragged down and hit one of the officials who took over the driver’s seat.

The video generated mixed reactions from social media users.

The General Manager of LASTMA, Bolaji Oreagba, confirmed that the incident occurred in the Maryland area of the state.

The LASTMA’s spokesperson, Filade, said the vehicle was impounded on July 4, 2022.

“The driver has been arraigned at a magistrate’s court, where he was asked to be remanded at the Potoki Custodial Centre until August when his case would come up again.

“This only goes to show that the law will not spare any violator, however unruly you are. All LASTMA is advocating is voluntary compliance,” he added of the bus driver who smeared the officials with faeces.
