One of those who visited the station told Vanguard that ” we went to testify to what happened.

We were told that the woman told the Police that the tricyclist injured her in the mouth. But for our intervention, the Keke rider would have been killed simply because he failed to remit Monday’s daily returns.

This is what usually happens anytime Keke rider fails to remit daily returns. The Police should call her to order”.

However, another man who simply gave his name as Nasiru, said ” at times these tricyclists deliberately fail to bring in daily returns. The woman usually cautions them not to collect Keke from her if they can’t meet up with the deadline for payment “.

As of yesterday, the injured tricyclist was said to be receiving treatment from injuries sustained.
