“The driver neglected the traffic direction of the traffic warden and blocked other road users. He also didn’t have a valid road worthiness document and a fire extinguisher in his vehicle when he was arrested,” he said.

Lucky added that the accused had no driver's license.

The accused, Abiodun, pleaded guilty to the four-count charge, which included driving a bus, marked KRD 884 XL, without a valid certificate from the Ministry of Transportation (MOT).

O. Sule Amzat, the Magistrate, ordered the bus driver to pay N5, 000 on each charge to the Lagos State government, and complete a two-hour daily community service.
