LASTMA Official Stirs Debate As Danfo Driver Hits His GMC (Video)
By Gideon Ayeni
A viral video capturing a dramatic scene involving a danfo driver and an off-duty senior officer of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has stirred reactions on social media, not for the accident itself, but for the officer’s luxurious choice of vehicle—a GMC.
In the footage, the distressed danfo driver was seen rolling on the ground, pleading for mercy after accidentally colliding with the officer’s GMC. The LASTMA official, who was not in uniform at the time, appeared visibly angered by the incident and could be heard issuing stern warnings to the driver.
Watch the video below;
While many expected outrage over reckless driving or traffic safety, netizens instead zeroed in on the LASTMA officer’s ability to afford such an expensive car like GMC. Users flooded comment sections with questions about how an officer’s salary could finance such a high-end vehicle.
The conversation quickly shifted into a broader debate about transparency, lifestyle auditing for public officials, and the potential for corruption within the system. Some defended the officer, suggesting he could have alternative sources of income, while others called for an inquiry.
Read some netizens’ reactions below;
