LASTMA officer lucky to escape death after clashing with Danfo driver

A LASTMA officer was able to avoid being stabbed on the neck following a fast response to a danfo driver's blow.

The verdict was given by a magistrate, F.O. Ikobayo, says a report by an online blog, Kemi Filani.

According to reports, the victim, Olanrewaju Yusuf, was attacked on Thursday, April 26, 2018, on Ikorodu Road, Lagos.

It was gathered that the convict had put up a resistance when the LASTMA officer tried to correct him for illegal parking.

A picture showed injuries evident in Olanrewaju Yusuf's bloodied hand.
