A driver for GUO Transport is accused of threatening to kill passengers who reported his unruly behavior during a trip from Lagos to Aba. This disturbing incident has sparked outrage and concern for safety among those on board.
Passengers who boarded the bus at GUO's Old-Ojo station in Lagos were scheduled to leave at 7:00 am on August 31, but delays from station management pushed the departure to 8:30 am. During the trip, the driver, identified as Nonso, reportedly drove aimlessly around Ogun State for three hours searching for fuel, exacerbating the frustration of the passengers.
When the travelers voiced their concerns, Nonso allegedly responded with a threatening remark, saying he would kill anyone who reported him to management. This escalated the fear and tension in the bus as the journey continued.
The situation worsened when the bus finally reached Owerri at 1:00 am, significantly late. Exhausted and frustrated, passengers were instructed to disembark as the driver prematurely ended the trip, locking the bus and leaving them stranded outside in the middle of the night.
Despite having paid N32,000 for the trip, passengers were informed that refunds would not be issued. Instead, they were directed to take a local bus to complete their journey to Aba.
