Keke Operator Dies In Fight Over ₦‎400 Levy by UDOKABESTLUV(m): 5:58am On Feb 15
A tussle between a member of the revenue taskforce team and a tricycle operator over non-payment of a daily levy of N400 ended in a tragedy on Wednesday in Sapele, Sapele Local Government Area of Delta State.

During a fight, the ticket boy, simply identified as Tunde, but fondly called Osama, reportedly held the tricycle Keke rider, Augustine Williams, by his neck.

The latter reportedly collapsed and was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital, where he was taken to for medical attention.

Eyewitnesses told DAILY POST that trouble started when Osama attempted to seize the tricycle operator’s key, which resulted in a heated argument

“Struggle ensued when Osama attempted to remove the Keke key and Augustine held his hand. The situation escalated into a fight, during which Osama grabbed Augustine by the neck, causing him to collapse,” a witness stated.

Lamenting the unfortunate incident, a commercial tricyclist, Ese Agbamitor noted that operators are constantly subjected to harassment and other forms of attack by the members of the revenue task force.

Meanwhile, the Motorcycle and Tricycle Operators Association, COMTOA, Sapele Chapter, has denied involvement in the killing of the victim.

A statement signed by the union’s vice chairman, Destiny Uhria, said the suspect involved in the killing of the Keke rider was not their member.

“The association is using this medium to inform the general public that the so-called person is neither a member of the association nor a member of the task force,” he stated.

Uhria said the incident happened at the time the forum was yet to begin to enforce the arrest of defaulters.

The spokesperson of the Delta State Police Command, DSP Bright Edafe, confirmed that a suspect had been arrested by the police in Sapele and was being held in detention.

Mad task force men.

Even some of those VIO workers aren't employed directly. They are working for those who were employed directly.

See as them deny this guy because he wasn't employed directly, but probably working for someone who was employed directly.

At all cost, avoid violence.

Journey well to the dead. sad cool

Why? In the end, it will be an illegal action by one hustling agbero. Because of #400, he will be behind bars for at least 10years.

😮 A beg, make una avoid fighting anyone this period. A lot of people are walking corpse. Hunger, high blood pressure, lingering heart diseases, and so on is making people a shadow of themselves. People are walking around with low energy level and stamina. People can't take care of their health because of high cost of medicine. And you have folks that are inches away from dying because of HBP due to high level of stress and anxiety.

You won't die walking away from arguments. It doesn't mean you are weak. Wisdom is profitable to the wise. If you do one blow, seven die, na inside kirikiri you go witness Nigeria flowing with milk and honey after this "tinubulation" is over.

Or even worse, you could be among the seven die, if one frustrated being throw one blow. No loose guard a beg, make EponObi no go use your death write thread on Twitter or worse, enter your family compound with his smelly, old shoes to do media paparazzi.

Most of the touts that does the tax force/agbero work are hooligans.
u don't fight them in their domain, especially as an unarmed solo soldier with no self defence skill.
Always surrender/retreat
Then plan together with other aggrieved fellows and strike them when they least expected.

Government needs to do something about this. The harassment that most of these tricycle riders are subjected to needs to be addressed. I still don't understand why touts are used as revenue collectors

Awon werey...they denied knowing him because agberos don't submit CVs to get the work. grin

I was on Addo road, at Ajah, yesterday when one agbero threw a ticket into our keke & told the operator that he would collect ₦1500 in two days' time for the ticket. The man was just lamenting all through the trip. Those agbero associations want to kill the commercial drivers & riders with extortion.

shocked


Augustine was just a walking corpse.
His grandmother had sacrificed him in the coven of witches the previous night.

Osama is just a victim of circumstances.

The Police should free Osama, but the government of Delta State should do better in eradicating menace of motor park agberos so that Osama doesn't fall a victim of circumstance again in the future when he is released from jail if ever justice would be served.

₦400 in the hand of a poor man under BAT is like ₦400,000,000 and so they believe it's worth dying for.

Poor men and anyhow kind of death is like Siamese twins.

By the time he is spending the rest of his life in prison, the people that engaged him for the revenue job would have forgotten him.

If you are sent on an errand as a slave, deliver the message as a freeborn.
